In 1587, one hundred seventeen men, women and children 

simply disappeared and became known as The Lost Colony. Sir 

Walter Ralegh’s attempt to settle Virginia remains one of the greatest 

mysteries of early American history. John White, the colony’s 

governor, described how the colonists were forced to remain on 

Roanoke Island when their intended destination was Chesapeake 

Bay. There they were abandoned and became lost to history after 

the Spanish Armada caused their resupply ships to be diverted. 

However, significant evidence suggests that they intentionally relocated 

inland and that Ralegh, at least, kept in touch with them. 

They continued the alliance they had formed with the Croatan 

tribe and, for at least ten more years, supplied Ralegh with a valuable 

commodity Sassafras. They chose Beechland, a protected sassafras 

site about fifty miles into the mainland, in order to prevent 

the Spaniards (and potential competitors) from finding them. 

This profitable venture ended when Ralegh lost his patent and 

his head after the death of Queen Elizabeth. In this scenario, the 

so-called Lost Colonists were not lost but were finally abandoned 

when Ralegh could no longer send ships to them. Evidence for the 

colonists’ movement was found in original accounts, native alliances, 

oral histories, naming patterns, archeological remnants and 

reanalysis of early maps. A thorough archeological investigation of 

the site might yield the crucial clues to resolve the longstanding 

mystery of what became of the majority of the lost colonists 

Philip S. McMullan, Jr., is a native of historic Edenton, North Carolina, and has been 

immersed in the colonial history of his state since childhood. Despite his early interest in 

history, he elected to study engineering and business administration before becoming a 

research scientist with RTI International in the newly created Research Triangle Park in 

1960. He maintained only a mild interest in the Lost Colony before 1982. That year, he 

assisted in preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for Prulean Farms, a 

 

 

proposed 22,000-acre farm on the mainland of Dare County. One of his assignments was to 

prepare a history of developments on the Dare mainland and its surrounding region. During 

his research, he learned of an abandoned settlement on the Dare mainland called Beechland. 

He was intrigued by numerous oral histories claiming that the original settlers of Beechland 

were Sir Walter Ralegh’s abandoned colonists and their Native American allies. After 

 

 

retirement, he researched the history of Beechland and its possible relationship to the 

abandoned colonists and decided that it could help explain the fate of the abandoned 

colonists. He was then accepted in the Masters of History program at North Carolina State 

University and began to prepare this thesis. He has taught World History and American 

 

History for the Gateway to College Program at the College of the Albemarle since 2007.

We are Thankful to our Supporters 

At this time of year, we are to reflect on what we are thankful for. For many it’s their health, 

family, friends, finances, faith and peace of mind. In addition to those things that I am thankful 

for as well, I must also add these components that are essential to my position and this 104 year 

old institution that I am proud to represent. They are, my amazing staff, board, and 

ambassadors; our loyal members; and our generous sponsors. Without these vital components, 

our chamber would not succeed, let alone exist. 

We try all we can to show our appreciation by consistently referring our members, advertising 

their products and services, offering educational and networking opportunities, and doing all we 

can to help them succeed. Our chamber members also enjoy special discounts that Non- 

Members (or “Future Members”) are not privileged to. 

One of our next exciting programs to promote our members and community to SHOP LOCAL 

is our Chamber Cha Ching card! Each month our 550+ members are able to log into our 

website to post their Cha Ching Deal they wish to offer. This allows seasonal businesses to 

attract customers in their off-season as well as our restaurants to increase business on their slow 

days. This card will be a benefit to all of our members to help increase their business as well as to 

the card holder that can take advantage of some great deals! 

Our Cha Ching card will be revealed at my personally favorite event of the year, Reindeer 

Games Bowling Tournament on Tuesday, December 8, 2015 at Albemarle Lanes. Each year, 

our members gather to not only cheer on their favorite bowling team wearing Christmas 

costumes for the contest, but to win some great prizes, meet Santa Clause and enjoy some 

holiday cheer and music! 

We hope that you and yours have a very Happy Thanksgiving, and a Blessed Holiday Season! 

Contact us for more information on these great events and join us for the fun!

Health and Nutrition Strategies For Cancer Survivors and Everybody Else 

WHAT’S IN YOUR DIET? 

Carbohydrates (essential nutrient) 

Carbs are the essential nutrients that effects every cell in the body, so they clearly impact your quality of life. Getting it wrong probably results in stuff like type 

2 diabetes, cardiac problems, strokes, obesity and chronic inflammation, such as arthritis. So,what exactly is getting it wrong? I thought you’d never ask. 

Carbohydrates can be divided into two groups, simple and complex. Most simple carbohydrates are manufactured in a factory, and shelf life and distribution 

are major considerations. Fiber is processed out for better shelf life. If you don’t restore the fiber, you’re getting it wrong. Complex carbohydrates are plant foods 

including: whole grains (still has the fiber), fruits, potatoes, and vegetables. 

For my fellow survivors, you want high quality, complex carbs , as your primary source of this essential nutrient, that should occupy 33% of your diet. Cancer 

survivors need stability and balance, and they’re compromised by simple carbs. Think local produce, so you don’t have to consider long distance distribution, 

and shelf life. The closer to the harvest the better. 

Cancer survivors should be particularly careful with your commercial bread choices. Avoid bread products that contain potassium bromate. Potassium Bromate 

is considered a carcinogen and not allowed in Canada, Brazil, the U.K., and the European Union. In the United States it merely has to be identified in the 

ingredient statement. Curious about how a carcinogen is allowed into the food chain? 

As this article is going to press, I’m seeing press releases regarding cancer in cured meats. As a former meat inspector I have extensive knowledge about cured 

meat and sausage manufacturing, and why there’s always been concerns about cancer. Check this column next month and I’ll elaborate.. 

Finally, I ran across an interesting Epigenetic study on why elephants rarely get cancer. Elephants have about 100 times more cells than humans and live about 

as long. You would think that its cells would mutate and become malignant over the course of their lives at a higher rate than humans. But they rarely die from 

cancer. It turns out that DNA researchers were able to determine that elephants produced a protein that kills the mutated cells before they become malignant. 

Dead cells can’t multiply. No multiplying cells, no cancer.

FR. SERAPHIM ROSE, 

PART II - THE VALLEY OF DEATH 

There are no eternal facts, as there are no absolute truths. 

Freidrich Nietzsche 

There is an old illusion. It is called good and evil. 


The world is beautiful but has a disease called man. 


I was in hell. I know what hell is. 

Fr. Seraphim Rose 

During these years in San Francisco, Eugene Rose studied with Alan Watts and Gi-ming Shien at 

the Institute of Asian Studies. And he earned a master’s degree in Oriental languages at UC Berkley, 

gaining fluency in ancient Chinese, and studying Japanese, Latin, and Classical Greek. In addition, 

during this time he learned Sanskrit on his own. Eugene supported himself by working as a busboy 

and as a janitor. 

It was during this period that Eugene’s existential and personal anguish became overwhelming. His 

desperation became so acute that at times he felt he was losing his sanity. Lacking any unifying 

worldview, having long before rejected the insipid, humanized western Protestantism of his childhood, 

he abandoned himself into a wasteland of alcohol abuse and sexual debauchery.

Ask for Joe 

Still, through this darkness he groped doggedly after some coherent, tenable understanding of the life 

he felt swirling about him. In addition to his explorations of ancient Chinese and Hindu spirituality, 

he inquired among various pseudo-religions and New Age movements and the gurus who were flocking 

to San Francisco in those days. 

Pursuing philosophical humanism to its logical endpoint, Eugene became absorbed in the existential 

writers of nihilism and absurdism—Nietzsche, Kafka, and others. One evening, after having immersed 

himself for hours in Nietzsche’s Thus Spake Zarathustra in the original German, Eugene took 

a walk in the city. The sun was setting “and the sky became blood red...He heard Nietzsche’s poetry 

resonating inside him. He felt that ‘Zarathustra’ had actually come alive and was speaking to him, 

breathing words into him.”* 

Thus it was thus that the infernal nature of nihilism and its suzerainty over the Mind of the Time was 

revealed to Eugene. From this profound experience sprang, much later, his incisive published works 

denouncing modernism and its devastating effect upon the soul of contemporary man.

Common sense financial preparation for the common man 

Article series by: Publius 

A wise man once said, “Be as poor as you can be on paper. It will be in your best interest in the long run.” And, as it is with many things, it has taken the fullness 

of time to realize just how correct this statement was then, and how much more vitally important it is becoming with each passing day. We now find ourselves 

facing a government that is casting our constitution aside, one piece at a time as if were a piece of trash, and running us straight toward a financial cliff that has 

the potential to make the great depression look like a cake walk. 

Government at all levels will be seeking additional funds in every manner possible thru more taxes and assessments. Plus, possibly requiring both existing and 

future retirement funds of all types be placed under government bonds and then control how much you are allowed to take out each year. We are facing an insurmountable 

level of debt, and it cannot be allowed to continue if we are to survive as a Nation. Expect every aspect of your life to be affected in some manner 

as these troubling times descend upon us and make what preparation you can to endure. Expect additional quantitative easing with subsequent effects on the purchasing 

power of your dollars as well as additional taxes on your assorted assets. The government will continue kicking the can down the road. Every available tax 

dollar will be sought. Just remember, the government can only “kick the can” so far!!! A great example of what the future can bring is the new law in North Carolina 

taxing the labor to repair your vehicle. A new tax on the shoulders of the working class citizens who cannot afford to buy a replacement vehicle. The very 

ones who must try to keep their older vehicles running to get to work and have transportation. The very ones who can least afford it. Once again, a great move on 

the part of our elected employees who have new vehicles with seven-year warranties. So, the new tax means nothing to the politicians who created the tax. 

In these uncertain times, many people find themselves seeking refuge from an uncertain future. They would like to feel as if they had positioned themselves in 

some positive manner to prepare, as well as preserve some portion of their assets. These same average individuals simply do not know in which direction to turn 

and therefore, at this point, have nothing or very little to that end. This lack of action is very understandable as hardly anyone knows what to expect. However, 

there are some steps to consider, and a description of these steps will be presented in future articles so that you might decide if any might be helpful in your particular 

situation. These suggestions presented in this series of articles are for entertainment purposes only. Do not consider this advice to undertake any suggestions 

set forth herein, either now or in the future. Do your research! 

In the December edition, I will begin a discussion on what steps you want to consider taking.

Dear Dr. Crime 

Dr. Crime is a pseudonym for a social scientist holding 

a Ph.D. degree in sociology and in criminology. He has 

worked in all major parts of the criminal justice system. 

Drop him a note at the website www.keepkidshome.net 

If you or your child is in trouble, he may be able to help, 

give him a call (2523390000) 

Dear Dr. Crime: We can trust the use of fingerprints by law enforcement, can’t we? If the pert’s 

fingerprints are found at the crime scene it means he was there and handled the items showing his 

fingerprint, right? I am so upset with the crimes happening today, and see so little justice, I want to 

know I can rely on something to be trustworthy. 

Angry Citizen 

Dear Citizen: 

I have upsetting news. I fear we cannot rely on what we have been assuming are unshakable 

assumptions about forensic science. A few years ago an inaccurate fingerprint ID by the FBI 

resulted in an innocent man going to jail, so that the National Academies of Sciences, 

Engineering, and Medicine began a review of the science behind expert witness testimony. A 

report was issued in 2009 and is discussed in an article just out in Science News1 calling it a 

“damning report… deep cracks ran through several forensic bedrocks – especially those based on 

expert interpretation of patterns.” The matching of fingerprints as a “match” is never definitive, 

and should be described as a probability but we do not have good statistics to go on. The report 

critiques more than fingerprint analysis and says that “There’s little evidence that handwriting and 

bite-mark analyses can reliably identify people. Blood spatter experts read too much into stain 

patters.” A very disturbing part of the Science News story concerned microscopic hair analysis, 

indicating a recent report by the U S Justice Department and FBI indicated the level of errors by 

hair examiners was very large. That report indicated where hair analysis linked people to crimes, 

the forensic examiners make mistakes in 96% of the cases, and in 33 of the 257 error based 

testimony cases, the pert had received the death penalty. Forensic scientists are moving to 

develop other methods of identification of subjects, including bacteria and human odor. In the 

case of fingerprints, there are small dots on all fingerprints that may improve the reliability of 

analysis. Some of the new avenues of identification under study offer improvement, as for example 

with pubic hair bacteria. It can identify individuals and tell where they have traveled and 

aspects of their lifestyle. So the potential is good for more reliable and valid expert testimony. I 

serve as an expert witness in delinquency, child custody and other social science oriented matters, 

and that experience tells me this Science News Report is one all of us should read! 

I will return to this issue in future columns.

Gun Tips 

By: Lloyd “Duke” Hodges 

The first rule of a gunfight is have a gun. My first rule is to 

avoid it. Second rule is to practice often. Third rule is know 

your firearm. Muscle memory is an absolute. Practice with 

an unloaded “go to” gun until you can operate all the levers 

on a semi-auto without having to look where those gadgets 

are. Revolvers are much simpler to operate. Read the owners 

manual. When I was in the military I had to learn to field 

strip my assigned weapon blind folded. Oh! I also had to 

reassemble it blind folded. When I clean my carry pistol I 

also visualy ensure it is unloaded then dissemble it. Visually clean it and reassemble it non-visually. 

All this means is that I know exactly what I am doing. A clean, unobstructed firearm will do what 

it is designed to do. Fire a projectile each and every time the trigger is depressed. Wait for it! Trigger 

operation is most important. You must practice until you are smooth and can hit the target in 

a close pattern. Sight picture is also very important. Index the front sight on the target and bring 

the rear sight into alignment. If you do this, you will make a good shot. Whatever your choice of 

firearm is, semi-auto or revolver, you are morally and legally responsible for every round you send 

down range. When I instruct a concealed carry or basic handgun class everyone is advised that 

negative things may follow. Enough said. There are many publications available to the shooting 

folks. Read them. Learn and act properly. We have seen violence on the news and elected officials 

blaming gun owners and want more laws to limit the good guys. 

What stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.

1840, Isaac Byrum was born in Chowan County NC. By 1861 his home state 

of NC had joined the other southern states in succession. Isaac enlisted as a 

private in company M, 1st regiment NC infantry. At that time many young men 

like Isaac were quick to pick up arms and defend their home land against the 

lawless invasion of Lincoln’s army. 

Company M was mustered out of service, so Isaac re-enlisted as a Private in 

Company F, 11th Regiment NC Troops. A few years later, Isaac found himself in 

the midst of the most gruesome battle he had ever witnessed. It was July 4th, 1863 

the place was Gettysburg PA. Isaac took a grape shot to his left leg. Here’s an 

account of what happened in his own words… 

“It was a hot day. I tried to drag myself to some shade, but couldn’t for all the 

other wounded and dead lying around. Flies were beginning to blow it, so I tore 

a piece of my shirt off and wrapped the wound. It was about sundown when they, 

the Yanks, picked me up off the field. I thought they could have saved the leg if 

they had picked me up earlier.” 

Captured by the Union, his leg was amputated before being confined as a POW. 

After being paroled and fitted with a new wooden leg, Isaac traveled over 200 

miles back home to Chowan County. Isaac passed away in 1916 and was buried 

in the family plot off Ryland Road but his wooden leg kept on traveling through 

his decedents and eventually found its way over to the Museum of the Albemarle 

where you can still see it today as a lasting testament to one man’s commitment to 

stand against tyranny.

STRIPER FISHING 

By Jimmy Fleming mrflemz@embarqmail.com 

Early fall is one of my favorite times of the year. It’s not just because of the cooler temperatures and less grass to mow, but because 

fall marks the start of STRIPER fishing season. Stripers are also known as Striped Bass, Rockfish, or Rock and are found 

throughout the Albemarle Sound and its surrounding waters. Second only to the Chesapeake Bay, the Albemarle-Pamlico Sounds 

is at the top of the list for largest estuarine systems. It drains over 30,000 square miles between two states, five major river basins 

– Chowan, Roanoke, Pasquotank, Tar-Pamlico, and Neuse – and a number of beaches, marshes, and bottom land forests. To cover 

the Sounds’ entire region, one would cross more than 9,299 miles of freshwater rivers and streams and over 1.8 million acres of 

brackish, estuarine waters. Wind-driven tides and relatively shallow water characterize its seven sounds – Albemarle, Currituck, 

Croatan, Pamlico, Bogue, Core, and Roanoke. The region’s rivers are an intricate part of habitat life as well, as they provide 

spawning grounds for striped bass, shad, herring, and other fish that live in the oceans but migrate up freshwater rivers to spawn. 

The season for stripers usually begins October 1st and runs through April 30th which offers a seven month period of great fishing. 

Stripers can be caught from the shore, piers, and bridges but the preferred way is by boat. Most fishermen like to troll, cast, or jig 

with artificial lures using medium spinning or casting tackle with 12 lb – 20lb test line. The size limit for stripers in the Albemarle 

waters is a minimum of 18 inches long and the creel limit is 3 fish per person per day. Some of the best striper locations in my area 

are Albemarle Sound Bridge, Manns Harbor Bridge, Alligator River Bridge, Pasquatank River, Chowan River, Roanoke River, 

Scuppernong River, Alligator River, and any area of the sound where there is a drop off, ledge, or structure. The next best thing 

to catching stripers is eating stripers! There are many ways to prepare stripers for the table. They can be cleaned whole by heading, 

gutting, and scaling (for fish to be baked or grilled). They can be filleted with either the skin on (for frying, broiling, or grilling) or 

they can be filleted out of the skin for a milder flavor and to be cut up in nuggets or fingers. Get out on some of northeastern North 

Carolina’s beautiful Albemarle area waters this season for a great striper fishing experience. Definitely finish the trip off with a tasty 

meal of stripers any way you like them: baked, fried, stewed, grilled, or broiled. Hope to see you out on the water!!!

Fall King Mackerel Live Baiting in Hatteras 

by Jake Worthington 

When fall weather comes to Hatteras Island you know King Mackerel season is not far behind. King fishing can be done 

several ways during this time of the year. You can jig on bait marks on your fish finder when you large amounts of schooled 

bait. Another technique is trolling Drone Spoons or seawitches with a strip bait paired with a planer behind your boat. Both 

can be an effective way to catch Kings that are present on the water. My favorite however is fishing for Kings with live bait. 

If you are going to live bait you must to have a live well to hold the bait and keep it alive. Your live well must some type of 

oxygen generating system whether it is an aeration system or an oxygen generating system. The bait is going to have to 

survive the ride from where it is caught to the fishing area, which sometimes can be up to 10-15 miles or more offshore 

depending on weather factors and bait presence. 

To get your bait you will more than likely travel outside of Hatteras Inlet, and look for birds working bait balls. If 

you don’t see birds then you will have to rely on your eyes spotting schools near the surface or watching your sonar system. When you get your bait make sure 

you don’t over stock the tank because doing so may increase your bait mortality. Always keep a 5 gallon bucket and immediately remove any fish that look to be 

lethargic or dead. Keep these fish as you may run out of live bait, if you get into a good school of fish and you can always use the dead bait. It is not as effective 

but it is better than nothing! Once you arrive where the fish are, then you can hook your live bait rigs up. You will be drift fishing with the live bait drifting by 

the boat. You can also troll live bait if you like, but if bait schools are present the drift method seems to work better. Make sure you know your reel, and how it 

functions because when that King hits they will start dumping line off of your reel. You don’t want to snatch the rod to set the hooks let the King do that when 

he starts his run. If you try to set the hooks you may snatch the rig right out of his mouth. Reeling a King is takes a lot of finesse and getting your drag set just 

right. That is why I prefer a lever drag over a star adjustment drag. 

If you don’t have a boat or prefer not to trailer a boat all the way to Hatteras you are also in luck because there are numerous charters that specialize in 

King fishing. Captain Spurgeon Stowe of the Miss Hatteras offers live bait trips that are economical. There are also several captains that do charters too. You can 

call Odens Dock, Teaches Lair, and Hatteras Harbor for boats and rates. See you on the water!!!

Crony Capitalism - The Politics of Greed by C.L. Cooke 

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) released the June 2015 report: Causes and Consequences of Income Inequality: A Global Perspective. The 

findings are an “in-your-face” repudiation of trickle-down economics as public economic policy. The IMF premise of trickle-down is that concentrated 

wealth at the top of the income ladder will “trickle-down” to all levels of society for the benefit of everyone. Well, trickle-down it has. In my lifetime of 

seventy- years, that wealth at the top for income earners has dripped so slow that the result has had a disproportionate and negative effect on both wages 

and quality of life for the great majority of our citizens. You see, wages have never kept pace with inflation, resulting in a loss of purchasing power for 

both the middle-class and the poor. Today, in 2015, in our country, we know the gap between the rich and the poor is still widening. This income 

inequality is documented in the IMF report as Measured over the past 32 years. The report analysis is based on the sampling of 159 advanced, emerging, 

and developing economies across the globe. Why does this information alarm me, and why should the findings concern you? During the upcoming 2016 

election cycle, I will attempt to continue to inform, educate, and raise your consciousness on relevant issues that will frame the future for our children and 

America. Our country no longer operates as a free market economy. Trickle-down economics has been hijacked by crony-capitalism. The net effect of 

government regulations, the buying of political favor by special interests, and the sell-out by politicians who pander and vote for the legislation that gives 

special advantage to their contributors have destroyed the free market. It should become more apparent the political class, and their contributors, are at 

the core of perpetuating income inequality in the good ole USA. Those who have power, both economic and political, and particularly that incumbent 

politicians who have bled the treasury dry, have made their fortunes, padded their retirement, and left the rest of us to scrape out a daily survival, are ripe 

for a “calling-out” by the voting public in America. I submit to the citizens of northeastern North Carolina to support a political platform of “trickle-up” 

economics where the poor and middle-class are elevated. My empathy for the middle-class and the poor will be touted by the candidates with no practical 

intention or methodology to implement an effective remedy. It has been a long time coming, but the door is opening, and we need to walk through. The 

greed factor will be further exposed as the political elite “ruling class” continue to trickle-down their political spin from Washington, DC, through our 

area and beyond. Do Not be fooled again. We have numbers on our side if we will only pull together to purge our political system of these parasites. The 

perpetrators are in Our cross-hairs. Stay tuned, the economic development plan for a resurgence in our historically poor area has been presented, and will 

continue to be made available to the public. While we are rich in many ways, our economic legacy for our children and grandchildren can be salvaged.

Rosie’s Kind Of Shrimp – Beer-Battered And Coconut Fried 

By Rosie Hawthorne 

Kitchensaremonkeybusiness.com 

I love Outer Banks seafood, shrimp in particular, fried shrimp more in particular. To me, frying enhances shrimp’s 

natural flavor. My favorite fried shrimp is a lightly beer-battered and coconut- and panko-kissed delicacy, served with 

a tangy dipping sauce. You are treated with sweet, succulent shrimp encased in a crisp, crunchy, light coating accented 

with a lovely hot/sweet complementary dipping sauce. 

Rosie’s Coconut Fried Shrimp 

1 pound large shrimp 

Peel and de-tract shrimp. I don’t say “de-vein” 

because it’s not a vein. It’s the digestive tract. If 

you’d like to butterfly the shrimp, go right ahead. 

That’s just more crunch for your buck. 

Leave the tails on for easier dipping and handling. 

Batter 

2 cups flour 

1 cup cornstarch 

1 tsp kosher salt 

1 tsp Old Bay seasoning 

freshly ground pepper 

about 12 oz. beer 

Coating Mixture 

Equal parts coconut and panko. 

For the batter, mix dry ingredients. 

Slowly whisk in enough beer until 

you have a pancake batter consistency. 

Dredge the shrimp through the batter 

and shake off excess. 

Next, dredge the shrimp through the coating mixture. 

Fry in 350° peanut oil for about 1 - 1 1/2 minutes, or until golden brown. Fry in batches. 

Do not crowd the pan. Crowding lowers the temperature of the oil and you’ll end up with 

soggy, greasy shrimp. Drain on a rack, not paper towels. Serve with my dipping sauce. 

Rosie’s Pineapple/Orange Marmalade/Horseradish Dipping Sauce 

1 cup finely chopped pineapple 

1/2 cup chopped red onion 

1/4 cup orange marmalade 

1/4 cup roasted red pepper, chopped 

2 TB horseradish 

1 tsp minced fresh jalapeno, or to taste 

1 TB minced cilantro (Or parsley if you’re in that camp.) 

Mix all together. 

Cover and refrigerate at least an hour to let the flavors meld. 

Enjoy!

A History of Slavery in My Family- The Parks and the Arnolds of Newnan, Georgia- Part I© 

by Wanda E. Hunt McLean 

wehunt@roadrunner.com 

My family suspects that as a slave Henry was never treated as badly as the other slaves, and his white father kept him in the house as a house boy. On the 1850 

census for slave owners in Coweta County there are four people with the surname Parks listed as a slave owner, but John Ira is not one of them. He is listed on 

the 1860 Slave Schedule as owning 3 slaves. John Ira’s half brothers and sisters and his father’s second wife are listed on the 1850 and 1860 slave schedule 

as slave owners. 

On an indenture dated 1853 by John Ira Parks, he pays a debt off with two of his slaves willed to him by his father, Henry’s mother Becky and his brother Burwell, 

but not Henry. John Ira kept his Mulatto son. Henry had other brothers and sisters he often spoke of; Andrew, Mose, Charlie, Miranda (Manda) and Ellen. 

Even though Rebecca was sold off along with one of her sons, she and Mose, age 9, are listed on the Newnan, Coweta County 1870 Census, which could very 

well mean that she and her son were sold off to a plantation nearby. On the 1880 Census Miranda is living with her brother Henry and wife Mary. The family 

knows for a fact that Mose moved to Chattanooga, Tennessee. Henry lost contact with many of his siblings when they moved away because none of them could 

read or write. 

When the Civil War broke out John Ira Parks gave Henry the opportunity to join the Confederates, but Henry opted to stay in Newnan. Following the end of 

the war John Ira gave Henry a horse and a plow and gave him permission to stay on the plantation, which he did for 15 years. By the time he was married with a 

newborn, he and his wife Mary moved seven miles into deep country, perhaps Senoia in Coweta County. Henry died on March 18, 1937 in Atlanta, Georgia. He 

is buried in the family church courtyard in a small area outside of Newnan called Ebenezer. At the time of his death my mother and her three sisters, 3 of them 

living today, ranged in ages 5 to 13 and they remember Henry very well. 

Part II – Mary Arnold Parks© 

Henry Harrison Parks married Mary Molly Arnold on February 6, 1879 in Newnan, Georgia. (Marriage Certificate) Mary was born ca. 1847, 51, 53 in Newnan 

and died October 19, 1957. According the US Census for Newnan and Atlanta, Mary was 106, 109, or 110 years old when she died. Her death certificate signed 

by her youngest daughter has her age at 104. All three of her daughters were famous for putting back the age of family members, especially that of Mary’s. Her 

youngest child, my maternal grandfather, said that she was 109 years old when she died. I remember Mary very well when I was young and I have pictures with 

her. I vaguely recall her funeral, but I was there. My mother who was one of her 5 granddaughters said that Mary was very fond of her grandchildren, and just as 

fond of the few great-grandchildren she had the opportunity to spend time with before she died. 

Mary’s mother was Hurley Martin, a slave belonging to Hugh Arnold of Newnan. He was Mary’s white father. Hurley Martin was believed to be ½ African and 

½ American Indian. Decades prior to computers this side of my white family was traced back to my 4th great grandparents, John Arnold and Mary Pettis. John 

was a Revolutionary soldier. 

On the 1910 US Census Mary’s occupation is listed as a nurse. She was also known as a great cook, a mid-wife, and a root doctor. She had remarkable curative 

powers. My grandfather said that she cured a man of syphilis and another person of yellow jaundice, and that she acquired this knowledge and gift of healing 

from an uncle on Hurley’s side of the family. This uncle was born in Africa and also lived in Newnan. He is listed on an 1870 US Census as 70 years of age, and 

place of birth on the census is listed as Africa. This ancient uncle in my family tree from Africa held the knowledge and power to heal people of physical or mental 

illness, or the opposite known as ‘working roots’ or performing ‘black magic’. 

Part III will go more in depth about Mary’s 

run-in with the law and her African uncle’s 

funeral in Newnan.

Although we are now in the General Firearms season here in North Carolina many of us continue 

to hunt with our bows throughout the season. If so, remember to follow the rules concerning the 

wearing of international orange while in the field. 

In order to hunt today we have to have passed an approved hunter safety program, but how 

many of us have considered taking a bowhunter safety program? The International Bowhunter 

Education Program (IBEP) course is offered in all 50 states and numerous foreign countries. In 

states where the class is not mandatory prior to obtaining a bowhunting license, the availability 

may be limited or the classes may fill up quickly. Currently the course is mandatory in 11 states 

and in many other special circumstances in states where it is not mandatory (e.g. urban bowhunts, 

special use areas, federal lands). The course offers many benefits such as up to date safety 

information, distance estimation, shot placement, survival information and much more. All of 

which will make you a more successful bowhunter. The IBEP is the source of the curriculum for 

the safety program and the course is administered by instructors of the National Bowhunter 

Education Foundation. The NCBA has certified program instructors for this program. If you 

haven’t taken a course consider doing so. This program goes into much more detail than the time 

allotted in the regular hunter safety program but by no means does it take precedence over the 

regular safety program required by the state, it is an additional certification. The couse goes a little 

more in depth on the importance of shot placement, posing many shoot-don’t shoot scenarios. 

More time is spent on tree-stand safety and the dangers of not using your safety harness. Please 

contact the NCBA on our website to find out about courses and instructors. Until next month, 

keep your broadheads sharp and your aim true.

Frisco Native American Museum 

MUSEUM DEVELOPS NATIVE AMERICAN VILLAGE 

Volunteers, visitors, and museum staff will sink the first anchor posts in November 2015 for a long house 

to be built on the nature trail at the Frisco Native American Museum & Natural History Center. The village 

is part of a project that began in 2013 when volunteers started work on a ten foot Cyprus log to transform 

it into a dug out canoe. The canoe will be part of the village that will ultimately include a 14’ x 20’ longhouse, 

ceremonial circle, spirit poles, palisade, knapping station, fishing weir, fish cleaning station, and 

native gardens. 

To facilitate work on the long house, a series of workshops are planned for the second week in November. 

Individuals will complete site work on the area where the long house will be constructed and then 

have an opportunity to learn how to apply a free form air epoxy to pipe and paint it to look like tree limbs 

stripped of bark. Sessions will also be held on making cordage from native yucca plants, weaving palm 

fronds and cat tails into sleeping mats, and molding food items from clay and free form epoxy. 

The project is expected to take two years with additional work sessions and seminars planned for April 

2015 and November 2016. Ultimately the nature trail will be the backdrop for semi-annual Village Days 

open to the public. The celebratory events will include family projects, workshops, hands on activities, 

and opportunities to join Native Americans in the dance circle. 

Individuals interested in participating in the project should contact the museum to be added to the 

mailing list for scheduled activities. 

The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday and is located on Hatteras island in Frisco. For more information, 

visit the web site at www.nativeamericanmuseum.org or call 252-995-4440.

NC Maritime History Conference in Elizabeth City 

By: George Converse, retired U.S. Marine and volunteer 

naval history researcher for the Museum of the Albemarle. 

The Museum of the Albemarle in Elizabeth City will host the annual conference for the North Carolina Maritime 

History Council on 5-7 November. This year’s conference is titled: “Swamps of the Albemarle: The Lure of 

Many Men.” Formed in 1988, the not-for-profit maritime history organization identifies and encourages historical 

and educational projects that support the enhancement and preservation of the state’s maritime history and 

culture. With over 300 miles of coastline, North Carolina has a rich maritime history that is tied to the state’s 

trade, environment, and growth. The NC Maritime History Council brings together all the elements that comprise 

our nautical heritage, one that tells tales of high drama and unfortunate tragedy, as well as exploration and 

scientific and historical study. 

Member organizations of the Maritime History Council include thirty-one North Carolina and Virginia museums, 

libraries, scientific centers, colleges and universities, historical societies, the NC Department of Cultural 

Resources, and the National Park Service. In its role in creating public awareness of the state’s maritime heritage, 

the Council publishes the annual journal Tributaries, which presents current research and articles on North 

Carolina’s varied maritime history. 

 

 

 

The conference brings together activists involved in maritime research, archaeology, marine environmental 

studies, and museum archivists to discuss progress in the field of North Carolina maritime study and 

history. Membership in the Council is open to all individuals and institutions with an interest in the heritage of 

the North Carolina waterways. More information about the Council, the conference agenda, and procedures to 

register for the conference may be found at http://ncmaritimehistory.com.

Northeast North Carolina Family History - A “pyrate” story… By: Irene Hampton - 

nencfamilyhistory@gmail.com 

Last month I promised you a family pirate story and I will conclude with it but first I have something of importance to our northeast North Carolina history. 

The Underground Railroad consisted of “a series of escape routes and hiding places that fugitive slaves used to escape the South before and during the Civil War.” 

It also included those black and white that assisted them. The Pasquotank River and the Dismal Swamp have both been designated as parts of the Underground 

Railroad by the National Park Service. Recently a group of interested individuals formed the Northeast North Carolina Underground Railroad Foundation with 

Wanda Hunt-McLean as president. 

She has been the force behind these designations as well as having the Roanoke River, Halifax Historic Site, Neuse River and Washington waterfront also 

designated. Of fifteen Underground Railroad sites in North Carolina, ten are located in our northeast part of the state. We seek to increase awareness of the 

enslaved people of our area and those both black and white who helped. We are holding a logo contest for anyone 12 and up for our foundation. Please include 

an image of the state of North Carolina as part of the logo. The contest runs until Thursday, December 10 with a cash prize of $50 and gift certificates from a 

number of local businesses. Upload your logo by messaging our Facebook page, Northeast North Carolina Underground Railroad foundation, fax it to 1-800- 

817-3585, mail it to P.O. Box 1809 or email it to our webpage, www.ugrrnc.org. 

As secrecy was an essential part of the process, we don’t expect to find artifacts, but ask that anyone with family stories or anything that can be connected to the 

local Underground Railroad experience contact us. Our future plan is to open a museum in downtown Elizabeth City to tell this story. We are also looking for 

financial donations and a building downtown. We are a non-profit making any donations tax deductible. Thank you to the community in advance for your 

anticipated support! 

As for the “pyrate” story. My husband has a Bell line from Bells Island in Currituck that currently ends with Caleb Bell who died in 1788. Although I have yet 

to make a definitive connection to William Bell, it is likely they are related. A report dated May 27, 1719 from the “Minutes from the North Carolina 

Governor’s Council” gives William asking to have a silver cup and other stolen articles returned to him that were taken while he was moored in the Pamlico 

River near Bath on September 14, 1718. He recounts that a man boarded his boat asking if he had anything to drink but it being so dark Bell responded he 

“could not well see to draw any.” The man who had boarded Bell’s periauger then called for his sword from his periauger which had pulled up alongside and 

ordered Bell to be tied up. Bell “asked who he was and whence he came to which said Thache replied he came from Hell and he would carry him presently.” 

The two men struggled but Thache’s men “laid hold upon him, his son and an Indian he had with him.” 

He demanded his pistols which Bell stated were locked in a chest. Bell entreated him not to break it 

open but allow him to unlock it. Thache took the pistols and Bell’s cash, a bolt of 58 yards of material, 

a box of pipes, half a barrel of brandy and several other goods. He also stated he was robbed of a silver 

cup of “remarkeable ffashion” resembling a chalice, “which cup (Bell) has been informed has been found 

on board Thache’s sloop…” Thache and his men then threw Bell’s sail and oars overboard. He added 

that while beating him Thache “broke his sword about a quarter of a yard from the point which broken 

piece of the sword (Bell) found in the periauger and now produces in Court…” Bell also states that he 

believes Thache had been informed he had money and goods aboard his ship or he would have sailed 

past him that night. 

Edward Teach spelled Thache in this record, died two months later when his was attacked aboard his 

sloop the Adventure by Lt. Robert Maynard, who became rather famous for defeating the pirate Thache 

– better known as Blackbeard.

All Hallows Eve, or Halloween as we call it today, finds its roots deeply planted in the supernatural 

as its origin comes from the ancient Celtic Festival of The Dead. 

This year, Next Evolution Wrestling brought to Elizabeth City their very own “Feast of Fears” on 

October 31 at the National Guard Armory. 

Featuring the 2nd Annual Tag Team Invitational Tournament, 5 tag teams fought to claim the 

trophy and the glory. In the end, NEW Tag Team Champions Geordie Bulldogs came out on top 

to take the Win. AIWF Heavyweight Champion Damien Wayne fought Next Evolution Champion 

Beau Crockett in a trick or treat title match. Four bags filled with treats and tricks. Weapons, pain 

and cheating seemed to be the theme for this match. 

Back and forth the blows flew..who was going to come out on top? Well, you had to be there to see 

it, or, you can join me next month to read the rest of the results from The Feast of Fears! 

For now I would like to extend an invitation. Join us December 12, Elizabeth City National Guard 

Armory, for our annual charity show to benefit The Angel Tree Project through The Salvation Army. 

Bring an unwrapped toy and get in for only $5. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Please join us for some great family entertainment while helping local children have a very 

merry Christmas.

A Destination of Distinction - 

DOWNTOWN CAFÉ AND SODA SHOP 

by C.L. Cooke 

The charm and distinction of Edenton is also graced by the wonderfully tasteful 

menu at the Downtown Café and Soda Shop. By using top quality food products, 

complemented by creative blends of breads, meats, cheeses, and fruits, the 

sandwich choices surprise and delight. Folks from near and far choose Chero’s 

chicken salad, a recipe famous in the surrounding area, and found only here. 

Whether you may choose Nixon’s BBQ, The Black Angus Burger, Albacore tuna, 

or a Nathan’s “Coney Island” hot dog, be prepared to be amazed. Some 

sandwiches use cranberry, pistachio, and a poupon sauce to activate the taste buds. 

Both the Governor Eden and The Pilgrim capture the local history and ones 

traditional culinary preference. The hard to find Cuban grilled sandwich is worthy

This Nov 11th an opportunity will be 

presented to the community. An opportunity 

to demonstrate your patriotism and offer 

your appreciation to the men and women of 

the Armed Forces, past and present. Many 

of these defenders of Liberty have witnessed 

horrific events, overcame brutal environments 

and challenges that are beyond 

imagination. Courage, Honor, Loyalty, 

Selflessness, are not just words to them, they 

are a way of life. 

On Veterans Day we will present a 

ceremony to Honor these warriors. You will 

not find this Honor shopping at a flea market 

or standing in line for a free dinner, there 

will be time for that. Furthermore, this is an 

opportunity to show our youth 

something good about America, after all, 

Patriotic citizens are good for America. Hope 

to see you at the Waterfront, 

Elizabeth City, 12PM.

and red pepper on the Governor Eden. You vegans may choose from House, Oriental, or Antipasto salad and 6 salad dressings. Banana pudding, peach cobbler, 

and cookies are homemade. Satisfy your sweet tooth with assorted ice cream flavors, sundaes, or a root beer float. Owner Frank Jones plans the cold month’s

The Forgotten American 

by Terrance Mann 

( Jamestown, Indentured Servitude and a notion of self-governance) Part II 

( a notion of self-government in the New World) 

The Virginia Company went bankrupt in 1624. The Company left behind the notion of self- government via 

House of Burgesses. The localized system of government represented all the settlements that developed 

between 1607 -1624. The House of Burgesses could over-ride the Crown’s Governor but rarely if ever did so 

and more or less worked hand in hand with the Crown. Of the more than 10,000 who came to the New World 

during this period, only 1,275 survived at the time of the Virginia Company’s bankruptcy. It was these 

Colonists, these survivors, who knew how to make it in the New World. Armed with a way to produce, export, 

no taxation (or tribute) of labor and a notion of self- governance a wealthy colony grew. In the underpinnings 

of this colony, there lurked a dark evil, and it was not slavery. Something much more sinister was at play - an 

unstated European class structure that continued down through the centuries to one degree or another fostering 

a master/slave relationship. This unstated class structure plagued the southern colonies/states and continues 

today in milder forms of corporatist giveaways, like cell phones for the poor and section eight housing. As a 

rule, President Johnson’s War on Poverty and Great Society was nothing more than a conduit for the cloaked 

class structure to live off of the working families and to keep poor people in poverty. While playing on the 

Christian “working class” psychologically to feel guilty for social ills that were created by the people 

reaping the rewards in government monies. Funny, how these “gentleman” can’t seem to make their way 

without the good grace of the “common man” and his willingness for peace and harmony. What happened to 

America with the Progressive movement in the 20th century was nothing more than another scheme to tax 

labor and we learned again ( or should learn) the same lesson the Colonist learned at Jamestown. 

America’s first experiment with communism - as it would at all other times of human history, required 

enforcement. That is a point left-leaning historians never mention in their lectures and writings. In short, the 

workers were being taxed from sunrise to sunset for their God-given labor. The Revolutionary Generation in 

America maintained a memory of Captain Smith’s feudal system and ensured one’s talent, and labor is not 

subject to taxation. In this country, God-given talent was considered sacred at the time of our Independence 

from” Feudal Europe.” What happened to us? 

The learned Fool writes his Nonsense 

in better Language than the unlearned; 

but still ‘tis Nonsense. 

- Ben Franklin 

Next Month The Forgotten American will take a detour back to Merry Old England as we take a look at the 

King, his fiat coinage and the erosion of the purchasing power of the lowly commoner. Our historic narrative 

will compare the destruction of the King’s fiat coinage to modern America leaving the gold standard under 

Nixon, stagnation of wages since the 1970s and the destruction of the middle class via master card and visa.

THE BENEFIT OF GOING TO LAW 

by: Ben Franklin 

Two beggars traveling along, 

One blind, the other lame. 

Pick’d up an oyster on the way, 

To which they both laid claim: 

The matter rose so high, that they 

Resolv’d to go to law, 

As often richer fools have done, 

Who quarrel for a straw. 

A lawyer took it straight in hand, 

Who knew his business was 

To mind nor one nor t’other side, 

But make the best o’ the cause, 

As always in the law’s the case; 

So he his judgment gave, 

And lawyer-like he thus resolv’d 

What each of them should have; 

Blind plaintif, lame defendant, share 

The friendly laws impartial care, 

A shell for him, a shell for thee, 

The middle is the lawyer’s fee. 

Benjamin Franklin (January 17, 1706 [O.S. January 6, 1705 

April 17, 1790) was one of the Founding Fathers of the United 

States. A renowned polymath, Franklin was a leading author, 

printer, political theorist, politician, freemason, postmaster, 

scientist, inventor, civic activist, statesman, and diplomat. As a 

scientist, he was a major figure in the American Enlightenment 

and the history of physics for his discoveries and theories regarding 

electricity. As an inventor, he is known for the lightning rod, 

bifocals, and the Franklin stove, among other inventions. He 

facilitated many civic organizations, including Philadelphia’s fire 

department and a university. 

Franklin earned the title of “The First American” for his early and 

indefatigable campaigning for colonial unity, first as an author and 

spokesman in London for several colonies. As the first United States 

Ambassador to France, he exemplified the emerging American nation. 

Franklin was foundational in defining the American ethos as a 

marriage of the practical values of thrift, hard work, education, 

community spirit, self-governing institutions, and opposition to 

authoritarianism both political and religious, with the scientific and 

tolerant values of the Enlightenment. In the words of historian Henry Steele Commager, “In a Franklin could be 

merged the virtues of Puritanism without its defects, the illumination of the Enlightenment without its heat.”To 

Walter Isaacson, this makes Franklin “the most accomplished American of his age and the most influential in 

inventing the type of society America would become.”
