This book was released on 2018-06-01 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Croatan Indians of Sampson County, NC, written by George Edwin Butler (1868-1941) and composed only a year after Special Indian Agent Orlando McPherson's Indians of North Carolina report, was an appeal to the state of North Carolina to create schools for the "Croatans" of Sampson County just as it had for those designated as Croatans in, for example, Robeson County, North Carolina. Butler's report would prove to be important in an evolving system of southern racial apartheid that remained uncertain of the place of Native Americans. It documents a troubled history of cultural exchange and conflict between North Carolina's native peoples and the European colonists who came to call it home. The report reaches many erroneous conclusions, in part because it was based in an anthropological framework of white supremacy, segregation-era politics, and assumptions about racial "purity." Indeed, Butler's colonial history connecting Sampson County Indians to early colonial settlers was used to legitimize them and to deflect their categorization as African-Americans. In statements about the fitness of certain populations to coexist with European-American neighbors and in sympathetic descriptions of nearly-white "Indians," it reveals the racial and cultural sensibilities of white North Carolinians, the persistent tensions between tolerance and self-interest, and the extent of their willingness to accept indigenous "Others" as neighbors.

Book excerpt: In the early days of Sampson County, located in the heart of North Carolina, the county was widely known for the abundance and quality of its huckleberries growing wild in shallow ponds and pocosins, often harvested and marketed as an additional source of income. Hence, the name chosen for our newsletter was "Huckleberry Historian." Included within the pages of this work are family genealogies, stories about notable citizens, our schools, churches, villages and Clinton, the county seat and more.Sampson County was formed out of Duplin County in 1784. Settlers came as early as 1740 and claimed vacant land. These settlers were of English, Scotch Irish, French and Swiss descent. Some Native Americans remained within the bounds of Sampson County and African Americans came in a state of servitude. Agriculture and turpentine was a mainstay of our early economy. Our farmers have followed the ox, horse, and mule eventually employing the tractor to till the soil. Early crops were: rice, corn, cotton, sweet potatoes and later tobacco was introduced. Sheep, hogs, cows and fowl foraged freely over the county side. We had a virgin forest of long-leaf pines that was devastated by the turpentine and timber industry.What were the inhabitants like? Generally speaking, the early citizens were rude and uncultivated in their manners. Many could not read a chapter from the Bible or write their name legibly. Dancing, gambling, horse-racing and whiskey drinking were common practices, at least until the circuit riding preachers arrived and set them on the straight and narrow way. We have certainly progressed in sociality and civilization since those early beginnings.This collection of history will take you on an incredible, informative journey through Sampson County's past 230 years.

Book excerpt: Trapped in a burning piece of farm equipment, Sampson Parker cut off his arm with a pocket knife in order to save his life. This is the story of Sampson Parker's strong faith and amazing will to survive against impossible odds. With his hand and arm pulled deep into a mechanical corn picker, Sampson struggled against the machine for two hours, trying to free his arm. When his efforts to stop the chain drive which kept forcing his hand and arm deeper into the machine resulted in a fire, Sampson made the only choice available. Exhausted and crying out to God for strength, he had to sever his arm with his pocket knife or burn to death. A Christian before the accident, Unthinkable Choice is more than the story of his life-and-death struggle. It is the story of how God used this tragic incident to change not only Sampson's life, but also the lives of those around him. Unthinkable Choice is the true story of one man's faith in God, his family's love, and his road to physical and spiritual wholeness. It is the story of how his struggle increased his faith and changed the direction of his life.
Download or read book Descendants of William Cromartie and Ruhamah Doane written by Amanda Cook Gilbert and published by WestBowPress. This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 792 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ambitious work chronicles 250 years of the Cromartie Family genealogical history. Included in the index of nearly 50,000 names are the current generations, and all of those preceding, which trace ancestry to our family patriarch, William Cromartie who was born in 1731 in Orkney, Scotland and his second wife, Ruhamah Doane who was born in 1745. Arriving in America in 1758, William Cromartie settled and developed a plantation on South River, a tributary of the Cape Fear near Wilmington, North Carolina. On April 2, 1766, William married Ruhamah Doane, a fifth generation descendant of a Mayflower passenger to Plymouth, Stephen Hopkins. If Cromartie is your last name, or that of one of your blood relatives, it is almost certain that you can trace your ancestry to one of the thirteen children of William Cromartie , his first wife, and Ruhamah Doane, who became the founding ancestors of our Cromartie Family in America: William Jr, James, Thankful, Elizabeth, Hannah Ruhamah, Alexander, John, Margaret Nancy, Mary, Catherine, Jean, Peter Patrick, and Ann E. Cromartie. These four volumes hold an account of the descent of each of these first-generation Cromarties in America, including personal antidotes, photographs, copies of family Bibles, wills and other historical documents. Their pages hold a personal record of our ancestors and where you belong in the Cromartie Family Tree.
