HlLLsBORO', N. c., May Is, 'S9-Permit
me to draw your attention to an error in
statement contained in the article upon
Edenton, published in the CHRONICLE of
May 10th, and at the same time offer the
correction OF 1t as matter more of history
than family pride. In your Edenton let
ter, speaking Of Judge James Iredell, you
say: "He was the only North Carolinian
who ever sat upon the bench of the Su-
preme Court of the United States, and at
the time OF his death he was an Associate
Justice of that great tribunal"
Judge 1redell, who was an Englishman
by birth, was succeeded on the Supreme
bench by Judge Alfred Moore, of Runs-
wick county, N. c., who, at the age of "A,
was appointed by President Adams as his
successor.
Judge Moore's family were Americans
by birth since 1871, when his ancestors,
Gov Sir John Yeamans, laid the founda-
ton of the city of Charleston, S. G., land
who in 1864 made the first settlement on
the Cape Fear River at the place known as
Old TOWN.. And North Oarolinians since
17a5 when his grandfather, Col. Maurice
Moore (son of Gov. James Moore, of South
Carolina) made settlement at the town
of Brunswick on the Cape Fear, which

mington.
so, in point of actual fact, Judge Alfred
Moore was the first North Carolinian who
was on the Supreme Court bench, altho'
he was the second appointment made of q
citizen of that Commonwealth.
Judge Moore served six years as Justice
of the Supreme Court, resigning in 1905
on account of the failure of his health
which had been wrecked by his seven
years service in the Continental Army.
While on the Supreme bench Justice
Moore formed close personal friendship
with two of his colleagues, Judge Peters,
of Philadelphia-who said OF him that ha
arrived with more quickness and certainty
at the point and pith of a case than any
man he had ever known, that his compre-
hensiOn was as instantaneous and brilliant
as a fash of lightning Judge Chase.
of Maryland.
There was very amusing contrast in
the size of Judge Chase and Judge Moore,
the former being man of gigantic build,
weighing three hundred pounds, while the
latter was exceedingly small and elegant
in figure. They were both men of keen
brilliant wit, and an entertainment graced
by their presence had the flash and sparkle
of Damascus steel. Many pages could be
filled with incidents and anecdotes of tho
eventful life of this distinguished North
Carolinian, but | only instance these as
proof of my assertion that there was at
least two North Carolinians who served on
the Supreme Court bench, and the second
one was my great grandf ather, Alfred
Moore of Brunswick.
