Book excerpt: Excerpt from Papers Relating to Samuel Cornell North Carolina Loyalist The letters printed below are selected from a collection of manuscripts relating to the efforts of the heirs of Samuel Cornell to recover debts due his estate, recently given to the Library through Howard Townsend, Esq., by the next of kin of Maria L. Campbell deceased. Samuel Cornell was born in Flushing, New York in 1731, of Quaker stock, the son of Samuel Cornell and Hannah Doughty. He moved from New York to Newbern, North Carolina, about 1754, where he married Susannah Mabson, and soon became one of the leading men of the province, being referred to by Governor Martin in 1775 as "the most opulent Merchant" in the colony. He was appointed a member of the Council in 1770, and was, generally speaking, a consistent supporter of the royal authority during the troublous times preceding the outbreak of the Revolution, although Governor Martin speaks of him as having been unfavorably disposed for a time, due to influence of his son-in-law Isaac Edwards, the deputy auditor of the province. In 1775 feeling in the province became so strong that Cornell felt it prudent to leave, going to England and afterwards to New York, where he died in 1781. In November, 1777, he obtained permission from Sir Henry Clinton to return to Newbern to settle his affairs and bring his family and household effects to New York. This he succeeded in doing, although Governor Caswell did not allow him to land when he reached Newbern. While in Newbern harbor he transferred his property to his five daughters, and had the deeds recorded, hoping thus to save his property from confiscation. In this, however, he was not successful, as the property was subsequently confiscated by the general act, chapter two, laws of 1779, passed by the Legislature at the October session of that year. At the close of the war his daughter, Mary Edwards brought suit in the courts of North Carolina to recover the property deeded her by her father, on the ground that the confiscation acts did not rightfully apply, the property having been transferred before their passage. The suit, however, was decided adversely in November, 1787. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays profiles a diverse array of North Carolinians, all of whom had a hand in the founding of the state and the United States of America. It includes stories of how men who stood together to fight the British soon chose opposing sides in political debates over the ratification of the supreme law of the land, the Constitution. It also includes accounts of women, freedmen, and Native Americans, whose narratives shed light on the important roles of marginalized peoples in the Revolutionary South. Together, the essays reveal the philosophical views and ideology of North Carolina's revolutionaries. Contributors: Jeff Broadwater, Jennifer Davis-Doyle, Lloyd Johnson, Benjamin R. Justesen, Troy L.
