At Richmond Hill, Yadkin Coun- ty, the famous law school of Judge Richard Munford Pearson, many of the leading lawyers of North Carolina of two generations ago received their legal training.

THE FUTURE OF FRIENDS SCHOOLS The special committee appointed last year to look into the financial difficulties of our schools made a report which evoked earnest considera- tion from a joint session of the two Yearly Meetings. The gap between income from tuitions and cost§ of operation is crucial. A central educa- tional fund under the care of the two Yearly Meetings’ special committee was authorized to which all Friends would be asked. to make current contributions and to provide in their wills for substantial bequests. -\ goal of two hundred thousand dollars for current expenditures was approved. The future of Friends schools is truly a major concern because in them our Quaker testimonies are demonstrated, interpreted, and pro- moted as samples of real Christian communities. General education of our members and those in sympathy with us must ever be foremost in‘any plans for the growth of Quakerism as a movement. AN APPEAL FROM THE CITY OF WELLS One of the first times that Quakers in England were freed from persecution after the Act of Toleration was at Wells, the cathedral town in Somerset. There in 1695 William Penn preached to large crowds, was arrested by the Mayor but subsequently re sed by order of the Bishop. The object of the appeal is to save from demolition an Elizabethan build- ing with a board on it marking the site and calling attention to this historic event. The Wells Preservation Society sent a communication to the Mayor of Philadelphia asking for support. He turned the matter over to the two Yearly Meetings which joined in directing the Clerks to for- ward our support in the efforts to preserve the building—a tiny one, in the center of the beautiful city, adjoining the market place and cathedral. We do learn lessons from the past and they should guide us as we go forward into the fourth century of religious service. We dare not live in the past. We are called upon to live religion, to express it, and make it contagious today and tomorrow. 2 (ibe (PO og ays 2 aa fied tke x P7534 | RF RAL, ed k Ue i347 L 33M H1dld-ALUIHL lf O¢ Of 62 BZ 22 92 sz vz Tae 62 8% LZ 9% St vz Ez 9 SE PL Et Zi it ol YHOmalynys— a PES eae vt vl Gl Fi ii or. 8 £9 0 by = Peparaid 404) App O44 WO1y 4ay>D og voce +s oc 4 ——— “APY?

Swann Route 1 Statesville, N. C. 28677 Dear Mr. Swann: In a somewhat roundabout way, I have learned that you are interested in the Petty family. I, too, am interested, as I am a Petty descendant and am engaged in preparing a sort of Petty family record. I am attaching a copy of my direct Petty ‘lineage, as I have so far worked it out and confirmed it. Will you please check this and ascertain whether we are of the same line? If we are, I should like very much to ex- change information with you. I also have my line from Absalom Petty back to the middle 1600's, but it is spotty and highly speculative, so I am not sending it at this time. My sister (Calanthe Cleary, of Spartanburg, S.C.) and I have been work- ing on this since about the first of the year and, through correspondence with various relatives and through personal contact with relatives in the Spartanburg-Gaffney area, have accumulated quite a lot of data, most of which pertains to Charles Petty, our G-G-G-G'father, and his descendants. We shall be glad to pass on to you anything of interest to you. We both are familiar with the Petty Cemetery, near Gaffney, S.C., and now are engaged in trying to determine the relationship of each of the persons buried there. Please use the enclosed envelope to let me know if you are interested. Sincerely, ADS san FKC/mc FRED KIRVEN CLEARY Encl.

KNOXVILLE 19, TENNESSEE June 17, 1961 Telephones: 588-0527 & §88-0528 KNOXVILLE 21, TENNESSEE Dear Gousin Tom: For once I am going to try to get an answer back to you in/time for our letters not to cross. Your conjecture about Major- Daniel Wright's being Nancy's uncle is correct. [ believe, however, that Daniel Wright married Nancy Young in North Carolina rather than in Virginia, as the clipping hints. Since the Youngs seem to have settled in Iredel County, the marriage between Daniel Wright and Nancy Young may have taken place there. Some time when you are in Statesville, | wish you would check that point. Nancy Wright also had a brother Daniel Wright. I have never found anything on him except that he had gone to "the western country" -- probably Missouri. The records which I have on Boon Frost's family give Icy Ann M, Frost 4s born February 21, 1831, less than a year after Icy Ann Frost, daughter of Captain John Frost, married William McBride in Surry Coujty. The "M" in the younger girl's name probably was for McBride, making her named for her aunt, All census reports must be taken with a grain of salt. The census takers seem to have guessed ages at times. I doubt that Captain John Frost had two sons born before 1795; but it is reasonable to accept the census report as an indication of about how old the boys were and about how many he had, particularly in yiew of the tradition of more names. I hope we can find something to either prove or disprove our conjectures. The William Pettey who married Lucretia (Lucy) Wright on January 25, 1783, was born March 13, 1765, and therefore sess than eighteen when he married Lucretia Wright. It is possible that he married another girl earlier. Unfortunately your letter telling me when ahd whom Willfam Pettey, Jr., married is not in my files at the present time, as I have loaned it to another man interested in the Petteys. If tha other marriage precedes January 25, 1783, I think you will have proved\what I have not believed.

Another correspondent has discovered the will of a William Petty in Kentucky for about 1805, We suspect that this is our old friend William Petty, Sr., the Rev. Petty; but we cannot be sure about this. He named his son William, but some genealogist has associated the Kentucky William Petty with the ones in Virginia. In my book I did not give full coverage to the Petty family, since they are not my own ancestors. I did include information on them because of the marriage of William to-Lucretia Petty. | ngsport Press is printing and binding my book for $3,500, I may never ie $10 per. copy sel] enough to pay the printing bill, but the book should sell for several years, I have planned a complimentary copy for you.

Your better received today and 1 do thank you for taking the trouble $@ clip. the items and send them to me, 1 had been wishing for an extra copy of the write up on the Woodward Jewelry Store so I could @e@nd it to my oldest "sister for her scrapbook. AD. A. R. lady in Statesville had sent on€ Gopy to my niece to give to me, This lady also sen@twrite up on the concert that Anne Woodward gave about March lst. . Anne is Pless’ daughter and has, as you have orobably read, made quite.a success with her Voice. Reminds me of my youngest sister who was quite a singer in mer young days, but got marpled before following Her career very far. I thought I hadwritten to abdut Cousin Wright Frost's illness, - but guege I did not. .He was-Operated on for lung cancer on Dec, 25rd and the @octors had told him before operation that it was malignant. However after operation they found it was benign, so that was a great relief to him and his family, The operation was quite severe as the top of Bis left lung was taken off and he was in Intensive Care of the Hogpitel all during the holidays, A letter I had from hin late in February he stated that he wes back at work but was still Limited in activities. Also trying to take care that he did not take cold so had mot been to see His mother since early in December though he was allOwed to drive.his Gar. He also stated that he was busy writing up geneghégy of the Petty family - his wife s side of the family - in orier $5 gend it tovsome one in TexaS that was writing a book on ¥ Petty family and connections. ~~~ Cougin Wright has not made any further regearch on the Frost family, but I have contacted two ladies, one requesting information on Boone Family and the other on Frosts of Massachusetts. I wrote the lady to search her Jibrary for the Boone Family book and also mentioned Cousin Wright's, book, I have not.heard anything further from héP"so perhaps she fener ate coer or someone else sent her the information. The lady mequesting information on Frosts answered my letter almost by — mail, saying our lineg were not connected as far as ghe could judge, but that she had a letter from another Frost that she thought would connect up with our line, The letter was mis- placed, but would be @opied and sent to me ag soon as she locded it, Ap I am rather anxious to see it. That was an interesting letter from the lady of Silver Spring Jn Maryland. -The old families; seemed to cling to certain names so it \y will be hard to distinguished which family the J@mng, Williams, etc. I note that Mrs. Donahoe is descendant from Frosts on both sides of her family, which often happens. Cougin Harry Asbury of Tanda, Florida, Has been busy on the Bishop Asbury bhegraphy that he is attempting to write, but I think this ie just something he wanted to do and does not plan to have it oublished. He has arraiiged Bishop's travels by states, so when he wants to refer to any of it he has no& trounle finding it. There have been sO many blographys written On The Bishop and I guess many more will be rt Lbeh te akaae Peak wikters come on.

Defense Department ls Complex Problem By DONALD H. MAY WASHINGTON (UPI) — The | . Though all of these will not | leave-in a body in January—and not ‘all are Democrats—a problems of transition from the | considerable number presently administration of one President | pian to leave. to another are nowhere more complex than in the govern- ment’s largest agency, the Defense Department. Here, as was the case after’ John: F. Kennedy’s election in 1960, two early problems will be personnel and the budget. At the top of the pyramid of the civilian defense establish- ment are some 29 presidential appointees—the secretary, his deputy, seven assistant secreta- ries, director of research, general counsel, secretaries and undersecretaries for the Army, Navy and Air Force and four assistant secretaries in each of those services. The Wheat Flour institute says: ee ‘Careful research has shown that durum wheat, and durum wheat alone, has all the qualities to pro- duce the finest macaroni.” 00 = Robert S, McNamara agreed Dec. 13, 1960, to be Kennedy's | defense secretary. About three | days later McNamara moved into a Pentagon office next to that of his predecessor, Thomas S. Gates, Jr. Defense Secretary Clark M. Clifford already has made such an office available to Franklin B. Lincoln, Jr., who ig handling government-wide transition problems for President-elect Richard M. Nixon. Nixon has said he plans to make no cabinet choices before Dec. 5. | Along with other agencies, all ‘the major branches of the Pentagon have been preparing briefing books for the new administration, explaining how = offices work, what the | problems are and what deci- | sions are immediately ahead. | The budget complicates tran- | sition in every agency, probably | more so in the Defense Department than elsewhere, | since budgetary decisions in- | volve policy as well as money. | President Johnson will present | the federal budget to Congress | in January, but the new _ administration will want its say ' on the budget and its issues | before Congress acts. Eight | Samah ago, when the Eisenhower administration submitted its | budget, the Kennedy adminis- | tration followed it up later with a cna oe ke will of Robert Fullenwider Phifer, who died 40 years ago, has brought the total bequest to the sum of $1,416,599.22. Robert F. Phifer of Concord | and New York, member of a prominent North Carolina family, was a financier, world | traveller, prolific amateur ' painter, as well as an avid | collector of art. His paintings | were first shown in this area | under the auspices of the newly formed North Carolina State Art Society in 1927. John Jay Blair, then Director of Schoolhouse Planning for the State, was the society’s first president. Mrs. Katherine Pendleton Arrington was vice president, and Mrs. Henry London served as secre- tary-treasurer. Blair was able to arrange space and publicity for the ex- hibition; and Phifer, in con- sideration of the interest shown in his collection, willed his paint- ings outright to the society. He then made arrangements in his will for the society eventually to inherit from his estate. Since Phifer’s death, $547,565.47 had been received prior to the final payment of $869,033.75. Notable paintings in Phifer’s original collection are “The Clam Diggers” by Edward Moran and “Portrait of the Artist’s Daughter’ by William M. Chase. Phifer funds were used to aug- Carolina Museum of Art in| donated $300,000 worth of paint- museum's original collection. Among these are the ‘‘Portrait | of John Scrimgeour’”’ by Thomas Gainsborough, Raleigh” “Lady Louisa Harvey” Thomas Lawrence, ‘The Flight Into Egypt” by Patinir, and the collection of Spanish still-lifes. Most recent gift by the society to the museum from Phifer funds is the Degas pastel, ‘‘Mon Repos,”’ which was presented in 1967 to mark the Twentieth Anniversary of the Million Dollar Legislative Appro priation. The North Carolina State Art Society has its headquarters in the North Carolina Museum of Art. It handles receptions for the museum and sponsors art exhibits, European art tours, and art programs in schools the North Carolina Artists’ Ex- hibition, each year the society awards prizes for this exhibition and purchases award winning- works of art. Membership is statewide, and regional representatives meet regularly at Raleigh.
