He was a Revolutionary War veteran, so badly wounded that he remained on the state Tist of invalid pensioners and then the Federal list Of invalid pensioners until 1818 or so. He was an early Anson County resident. His grandson, Humphrey B. Rogers (1790-1869) Was apparently my 9999 grandfather but I have never found the missing generation, actual dates for Humphrey Rogers, his -place of burial, name of his wife. As for the Swann family, I have inched a bit ahead and finally found Isaac and Anne Swann but in Marengo County, Ala. in the 1830 census, I still don't know their whereabouts in 1820.

The early folk of Rowan, a staunch and sturdy people who braved the wilderness and feared God, believed from the start in the necessity and value of education and lost no time in seeing to it that their children: were given the advantages of learning, in- evitably tied up their other two first loves, religion and freedom. Education here probably began with the ‘Old Field’’ schools during the troublesome years between the first settlements in the mid-18th century and the Revolutionary War. They got their name, ‘‘Old Field’’ ‘schools, because they were frequently built on a field which had been cleared and: used, but then abandoned. The open ground made a fine place for boys’ games of ‘“‘Town-Ball,” ‘‘Bull- Pen,” ‘‘Cat or Prisoner’s Base,”’ while on its edges, the lassies enjoyed the less laborious ‘‘Blind Man's Bluff,” “Drop the Handerchief,’’ or ‘Fox and Geese.” The teachers were the people in the community who knew most — though they might not necessarily be highly educated — and the ministers, general- ly scholars who worked for education as well as the spirit, usually arranged for schools in comnection with their churches — often using the same build- ing. -If they couldn't find a teacher, they taught themselves. Rowan was settled largely by the Germans and the Scotch-Irish, both greatly concerned about the education of their young. BOOK REQUESTS Early German records are filled with requests to the consistory of Hanover for books, and a special mission to Germany was made by Christopher Rintleman and Christopher Lyerly to get a good teacher for their congrega- tion. The one they found, Peter Arndt, operated a school in connection with Organ Church for many years. Similarily the Sc@tch-Irish were con- cerned, and their records show that before 1766 the Rev. Alexander Craighead of Mecklenburg County helped organize Thyatira, Fourth Creek and Center Presbyterian churches. CLASSICAL SCHOOLS « During the same period, one of the Tirst classical s¢hools, Crowfield Academy, was established at the head waters of Rocky River, about two miles north of Davidson College in the Center congregation, and it educated a number of young men destined to become outstagding educators themselves, including Dr. Ephraim Brevard, who is said to have written the Mecklenburg Declaration of In- dependence, and Dr. Samuel E. McCorkle. Dr. McCorkle, like others who at- tended the old field schools or classical academies and had the means, was sent to Princeton, or “‘Nassau Hall"’ as it was then knowm, to complete his education. He was called to his home church of Thyatira in 1776 and in 1785 established a classical schvol which he ‘talled Zion-Parnassus — ‘a happy combination of Hebraic philosophy and Greek estheticism.” Dr. McCorkle was evidently suc- cessful in selecting his students because six of the first seven graduates of the University of North Carolina were former students of his. Forty-five of his students entered the ministry, and many others became lawyers, judges, and officers of the state. Dr. McCorkle added a new depart- ment for teacher training to his pro- gram, causing it to be referred to. often as the first normal! school in America. In addition, he taught math, philosophy, theology, natural science, and Latin and Greek. Said to be generous with his time and his money, Dr. MeCorkle was dearly loved by his students. His school was maintained for 12 years. Meantime, Dr. McCorkle also played. a prominent part in the establishment of the Salisbury Academy and the University of North Carolina. A former trustee of the Charlotte school, Liberty Hall, he thought it should be moved to Salisbury when it > fell into a state of decay after the Revolutionary War. Moved here in 1784, it was renamed the Salisbury Academy. About one-fifth of the population of Salisbury was German at the time and the academy offered a special school for the instruc- tion of German boys. REOPENED IN 1807 The original Salisbury Academy didn’t survive the turn of the-century, but it was re-opened in 1867 by Max- well Chambers and others. According to an announcement of its opening, it had ‘accommodations in a retired part of tow: composed of a large and cunvenicnt pile cf buildings. containing 12 rooms, of which nine were furnished with fireplaces.” Latin and Greek were taught by the Rev. John Brown who had charge of both the male and female departments, . oo but an advertisement. said the academy was looking for a female teacher for the girls. In 1818 a Miss Eliza Slater and a Miss Mitchel, both of New York, were employed. By this time the school for boys and that for girls were located in different sections of town. A large and elegant building located across the street from the pre- sent city school offices on North Ellis was used for boys, and a house on the corner of Bank and Jackson housed the girls. A loca! theatrical organization, known as the Thespian Society, headed by John Lawson Henderson, petitioned the General Assembly to be allowed to. incorporate the Salisbury Academy within the society in 1812 The assembly: said yes, and the bill also gave permission for a lottery to raise money to support the school. The lottery brought in enough money to build a new building for the boys in 1815 and-one for girls in 1818, although ~ most of them boarded at John Fulton's boarding house which was built in the same year between the two academies. The Thespian Society disbanded in 1821, but the academy operated until at least 1839. CULTURAL CENTER ~ Both the society and the academy were cultural centers, contributing considerably to making Rowan a cultural center of that day. Records show students came from as far east as Fayetteville to attend the academy. Dr. McCorkle's efforts to establish the University of North Carolina, though sincere, bore little fruit at first. He had hoped to get Judge Spruce Macay of Salisbury to introduce a bill for the suggested university to the state legislature, but Macay didn't get there and-the bill was presented by Rowan’s representative, William Sharpe, on November 8, 1784, at the same time the bill chartering the Salisbury Academy was introduced. But the bill wasn't even discussed and was ordered to ‘‘lie-over until the next session of the assembly’’ — effec- tively killing it for the time being. In 1789, General William R. Davie, who had moved to Halifax County from Rowan after the Revolution, remem- bered McCorkle’s effort and intrgduced another bill. It passed, establishing the first state university in North America. Through a misunderstanding between Davie and McCorkle, the Rowan educator was not allowed to become the University’s first pro- fessor. Dr. Archibald Henderson, however, has said that he was ‘“‘un- doubtedly responsible for the admira- ble four year course of instruction."’ During the same period in which the Salisbury Academy flourished, there were other schools opened by private individuals. In 1801 the Rev. Joseph D. Kilpatrick opened a school at Third Creek Church to teach young men, principally in Greek and Latin, but it had a rocky road, closing and re- opening several times. About 1810 tuition at Mr. Kilpatrick's school was advertised at $12 and board could be obtained for $40 for the year. In 1820, when he opened the school again because he ‘had been frequently ‘solicited through the summer and autumn to commence again the busi- ness of teaching,’ the fees had gone up to $16 for tuition and $70 for food. A Mrs. George Mumford announced the opening of a school in 1815, offering to teach two or three young ladies ‘‘the comyAon rudiments including history, geography, music, painting, em- broidery, and other needlework.” In June 1828, Charles Fisher, John Beard Jr., R.M. Saunders, Robert Macnarmara, Junius Sneed, and Daniel Meenan announced in the Yadkin and Catawba Journal that praise should be given Mr. P. Barry for his diligent work in instructing his pupils whose examinations they at- tended. The following yearta Mrs. Wiley, ‘ compliance with the frequent solicita- tions of several respectable families in this place,’ opened a Select School for the instruction of young ladies ‘‘in the useful and ornamental branches of education.” Her terms were: “For reading, spelling, and writing, $4 per quarter. Arithmetic, English grammar, geography, history, rhetoric, together with the above, $5. Drawing and painting upon paper, and satin, theorem painting upon velvet | and paper, and open ornamental nee- dle work upon lace, cambric and muslin, $10. Those who feel disposed to encourage the above school, may be assured that°the utmost care will be paid to the morals and manners, as well as the scientific pursuits of such as may be placed under her charge.” During the same general period, Peter S. Ney, about whose name the romance of mystery still clings, taughi in this area. His schools were well known for the quality of the scholarship. Apparently unwilling to settle down, Ney taught for a while near Mocksville, then moved to a location a few miles from Statesville. He had a glose friend, however, in the Hon Osborn Foard of Rowan, and Mr. Foard built a two-room school and home for Peter Ney in the yard of his own home. Records of those years are few, but odd bits and pieces still exist that in- icate Rowan children had an op- portunity for learning. Descendants of Asa Ribelin, still have a contract used for making arrangements to teach. For 65 cents a month, Mr. Ribelin was will- ing, in 1839, to teach spelling, reading, writing, and arithmetic, and to keep the school house in ‘‘good repair with a furnishment of all the necessary materials... and supply of firewood . .’ with the provision that 23 scholars be secured. By the 1840s, Mr. Ribelin had raised his price to $2. Many of the residents, especially the large planters who had enough money, frequently banded together to get -gov- ernesses and tutors for their children. By the time North Carolina passed its first statewide public school law in 1839, Rowan was rich in educational facilities, and its students, one way or WE TOO ARE PROUD OF OUR a HISTORY WE ARE NOW 125 YEARS OLD P.O.
