C., $4.95. The number and influence of Quakers in early North Carolina is evi- dent in even a casual reading of the State’s history, but the eventual decline _ of thgjr role may not be as clear, The movement prospered and spread — - both by migration and conversions— during the 17th and 18th Centuries, passed its zenith in the 19th Century, then receded, as sizable bands of Friends departed this state headed ” West, to settle largely in Indiana and} Ohio. , McKiever, assigning reasons for the Carolina Friends’ emigration, charac-” terizes the move as mainly a flight from the evils of the slave system. His study explores the painful pre- dicament of the Quakers, strongly op=. posed to slavery by religious belief yet’ living in a slave-holding society in which many were themselves slave- owners. Pressed to disengage from the “peculiar institution” by their con- sciences, by their brethren in the Northern states and by back-country" | Friends, distant from the plantation country, their attempts at manumission, and other solutions, greatly aggravated the discomfort of their position. The anger and ridicule of theit slave-holding neighbors, the difficulty of economic competition against slave labor, the responsibility and expensé and other problems became increasing- ly acute; and many foresaw the War Between The States, which would make their position in North Carolina even Although, McKiever admits, there is a scarcity of specific information about the Westward trek in the min- ‘utes of the many Quaker meetings, the evidence plainly points to slavery @8 the chief reason for their departure, id tzgeral jever.

With a nucleus of 23 persons, . the new church was formed. The first pastor was Rev. C. S. Cashwell, who served until 1917. Rev. C. BE. Beaver was the me the second minister at the church, iiding serving from Nov. 19, 1917 until Jan. 5, 1919. Church Prospered + Rev. W. E. Holcomb was called to serve the church as pastor on Feb. 2, 1919, and re- mained with the congregation for over three years. During his ministry, the church continued . to grow and prosper, with the first pastor’s home constructed Rev. 1. P. Frazier was the a fourth minister — assuming his uly duties in July of 1923 and served the church until his death on Jan. 21, 1929. In July 1931, Rev. J. Clyde Yates came to Front Street Baptist as pastor. For over three years, Mr. Yates served the church during some of the most difficult days of its history. Although the years of economic depression made the _ work trying indeed, the church, under his leadership, continued on a path of progress. Need For Expansion The sixth minister was Rev. H. Fletcher Lambert, who accepted the pastorate on Jan. 24, 1935, and saw the urgent need for expansion and growth. With the odds against a building project, plans were discussed Statesville Record & Landmark Street Baptist Chure # Sanctuary To Be Dec and the ground was broken for the first unit. ‘The building pro- gram, begun in 1935 and in- volving three stages, was com- pleted in 1939. When the main sanctuary had been completed, ; $26,000 had been spent with less than $12,000 indebtedness. On Sunday morning, Dec. 10, 1944, the building was dedicated, free of all debt. By that time, a total of $35,000 had been spent on the building and furnishings. Mr. Lambert resigned the following Sunday, effective Jan. 1, 1945. On Sunday, Jan. 14, 1945, it was a sad day in the hearts of members of the congregation as the church caught fire and burned before services that day — leaving Front Street without a pastor or a building. In February of 1945, Rev. C. C. Holland accepted the ¢all to become the seventh pastor of the chureh. When Mr. Holland accepted the pastorate, the worship services were held at the former Front Street Pres- byterian Church on Sunday afternoons, and Sunday school was held in the pastor’s home and some of the rooms of the church building. Completely Rebuilt On June 3, 1945, the worship services were moved back to the main building, meeting for a time in the basement. The church was completely rebuilt after the fire and dedicated debt free in August of 1945. During Mr. Holland’s minis- try, two other building pro- grams were completed. The new pastor’s home was built on the corner of W. End Ave. and Patterson St. and completed in May of 1951 and a new edu- cational building at the church was completed July 7, 1957. Another great achievement was the organization of the Monticello Baptist Church in 1952.

Mission Started On Sunday, Oct. 11, 1959, Rev. Thomas L. Reece was called as pastor, serving the church until January of 1969. In December 1960, arrangements were made for the use of the American Legion building just off US 64 for the beginning of a new mission Sunday school. Mr. Reece served the mission until May when Rev. Joe Whitworth became pastor of the Oakdale mission and groundbreaking was held on June 11, 1961, for the first unit of a four-stage building program. tk amet, ti after a disastrous fire, this was 1957.

After seeing his dream of a splendid new church for his membership become a reality, Mr. Lambert turned to a different -re- ligious field and, on January 1, 1945 became Superintendent of Missions in Raleigh. On Sunday, January 14, 1945, the Front Street Baptist Church was almost completely destroyed by fire. Only the basement was left partly undamaged. To make the deplorable situa- tion more depressing, the members were without a pastor to turn to in their distress.

ALEXANDER I In faith serene, with firm and steady tread, Erect in manly form, he walked among The saints of earth whose names on mortal tongue Are numbered with the ever-living dead. He lived on heights with these who never die He lived, and lives, and yet shall live til] day Of splendor, when all shadows flee away, And glory thrills redeemed earth and sky. He loved the Word, and longed to see it grow Amidst the saints of God he knew so well. He thought, he dreamed, he prayed for light to know The will divine. It came like magic spell, Trost Secreta 8. 3,1896-1916 To cheer his heart, and lead him on the way; And, lo, a vision dawned,—and then the day! II Ye happy people in a fruitful land, Where dream and song yet thrill thy vibrant soul; Where faith grew strong when sorrows made thee whole. And sacred grew the words of God's command! How blest in lives immortal in their worth! Great souls were thine whose clear prophetic gaze Beheld thy coming years, and heard thy praise To Him whose glory yet shall fi]! the earth! How blest art thou, O Land whose faith abides, And Pagan Cult, in deep deceptive role, Is swept beneath the high and living tides That heave and swell from out thy fervid soul! How blest foundations deep for thee were laid, That on the Rock, ‘midst storm, thy soul is staid! III Like mountain peak the first to catch the day And stand in peace above the storm below, He stood serene in calm and fervid glow, And through the shadows marked the upward way. The Kingdom heaved within his heart and brain; He caught the light that beamed in coming morn; He prayed and thought|—An Epoch then was born, And all. the Southland ‘woke to one refrain. O blessed Seer! Thy calm and steady gaze, Where few had seen with undimmed eyes before Soon made the millions see; and now with praise One vibrant song rolls on from shore to shore; And childhood won, and aged souls set free, Behold what dream now blest reality! IV How gentle were his words of tongue and pen! In council oft, how wise! The millions tread The path of light—an army one. O’er head The Captain calls to throngs of ready men Who ‘ve learned the way of comradeship with Him; And clad in armor bright with Truth’s own might, The hosts of God, with face to morning light, Now hail the day beyond earth's ages dim. Calm leader thou, thy vision now we see. Where holy temples rise and children sing, And saints, though aged, find their joy to be At feet of Him, the Kingdom bells there ring! And o'er the Land ye loved, the people raise One soulful voice sublime in hallowed praise V Great saint, ye loved the Master's word “fulfilled.” The “house of God” ye knew earth's sorest need. Each Ordinance, a truth in living creed, Proclaimed for thee the Saviour's holy will. Ye loved devotion in the “house of prayer.” The songs of praise and worship at the Throne To thee were highest heights that men have known, And sound the deepest depths of love and care. When down the years the people throng to hear The word inspired of God to light the way, That father, mother, child need have no fear, Thy name will glow in saint's supernal day!

Since there is a tradition of two half-sisters but none. of a half-brother, it is the writer's conjecture that Thomas Lucas may have died before 1820 and that Kitty had already married a man whose nate has not been retained in family traditions. This half-sister could be the clue to the tradition that, after becoming orphans, William P. Hix @gad his brother Joshua M. Hix, lived for a while with relatives in Obiog County. Assuming that their mother died between 1820 and 1830, who more likely would have pro- vided them with a home than this half-sister ? Page 297. Name Correction.

His @@eond wife before marriage was a Trice, rather than Price, as evidenced by her tombstone in the Russel family cemetery. She died August 24, 1899. Pages 282 and 283. Joshua Yates Hix Vamesake of an Ancestor. \ithough it is now known that Joshua Yates Hix was mot named for his maternal grandfather, it has also been learned that Joshwa Yates was an ancestral name. An earlier will and other private papers of Demarqyjs Pls. now in the possession of his great great-grandson Claude David Hix. of Huntsville, Alabama, confirm the writer’s other conjectures on Joshua Y Hix, the name by which he was designated jim these papers. That the “Y” is for Yates has not been established but eould hardly be doubted. Page 284. John D. Hix in Missouri. The above mentioned papers of Demarquis 1D. Hix reveal that in 1861 John D, ix was living in Missouri This eXplains why on April 20, 1867, when Demarquis 1). Hix wrote the will which was probated, he may not have be@m gure about the names of this deceased son's children. It also explaigs why marriage or other records of them could not be found in Bedford County. Neither does time permit nor relevance to his own genealogy justify further search for “the heirs of John D. Hix” by the writer$ Bat it is suggested to any one who is interested that a good place in Missouri to begin the search might be in Lawrence County, where their Stewart relatives were living in 1852. Death of John D. Hix between 1961 and 1867 also sugyests him as a possible Civil War casualty. Page 288.

This means MieM@as in Campbell County less than two months before the birth of his son William Penn Hix on May 20, 1811, which census reports indicate G@etrred in Tennessee. No evidence available to the writer indicates thai fe families of William Hix, Nathaniel Hubbard, or Moses’ Echols arrived in Bedford County any earlier, if indeed as early; but it is thought that Nathaniel Hubhord may have settled in another county of Tennessee before coming to Bedford County.

Thége five older children were Peggy, Elizabeth, Lynda, Ellen, and William. Pages 278 and 283. The Parents of Malinda Stewart Hix. The family tradition that Malinda Stewart Hix’s father was Joshna Yates Stewart has been proved incorrect by the careful and persistent research of Mrs. H. L. Noblitt, nee Annie Ruth Gammill, identified ag a descendant on Page 281. Malinda was the daughter of William agd Margaret (Peery) Yates Stewart, as evidenced by William Stewart's will, dated September 27, 1835, and filed in the Chancery Court of Bedford County. Tennessee. on August 16, 1838, in a suit which was settled by ‘@fticles of agreement by all heirs, or their guardians, on November 30, 1889 (Enrollment Book 1, Bedford County Records, 1836-1842. p. 162).

Peggy is thought to have been a sister of Joshua Yates, who married Martha Stewart, probably a sister of William Stewart September 17, 1795 (Kentucky State Historical Register, July 1941) Although earlier ancestry of neither the Stewarts nor the Yates has been established to the satisfaction of the writer, census reports indica both families were living in North Carolina before going to Ker - In the absence of proof to the contrary, the writer offers the conjecture that Malinda Stewart Hix’s maternal grandfather was named Joshua Yates, not the Joshua Yates who married Martha Stewart, but his father This would lend some basis for the ill-founded legénd of Joshua Yate Stewart which possibly developed through the proce@gs of condensine tw | | ‘ \\ generations of ancestors into one.

Matching the Missing Heirs of Sabyg Morris's Siblings With the Unidentified Devisees of Her Wilt — an Giercise in Speculation. There are three consecutive bequests in Sabra M@HEB’s will for which the writer has been unable to determine to his cospii@fe satisfaction the re- lationship between Sabra and the devisees. A ou h such case stands alone. In the failure to locate the required recom@g for such identification, the reader is permitted to share in some philoso lation rather than left with an unexplained void. The three in uninterrupted sequence are as follows: HH $300 to “Mary Dickson (formerly Mary Parmer), $333.33 to “Joshua Cox (son of Benj),” and $333.33 to “Mary Attenton, Nancy Attentoq and William Attenton (children of George Attenton of the State of fgnnessee. )”’ 4 This uninterrupted seqeunce of ‘almost identi¢al Pequests, without the slightest indication of the relationship of the pot to Sabra, indicates a close relationship of each to the others and a al acquaintance with Sabra and her farm manager and executor, Zachafial Carwile, which prob- ably mean that for a time at least all had lived png visiting distance of n Sabra’s home.

In the absence of proof to the contrary, it is a reasonable assumption that these children grew up and married in or near Campbell County. One of them may have been the “Mary Dickson (formerly Mary Turner)” Although no record has been found to verify such an assumption, thie mothers of “Joshua Cox (son of Benj)” and the Attenton (or som@ Wariation of this name) children may have been daughters either of 's daughter Frances Turner or of her daughter Celia George. ‘i Joshua Cox was paid $100 on his legacy om March 24, 1825, without the aid of an attorney, which indicates he was Ie¥imp nearby at the time; and Mary Turner Dickson’s husband George Dieien made two collections through an attorney, which indicates that they Ma@@imoved away but had kept contact. *No record has been found of angi fyment to the Attenton children (or any name similar to this).
