in the old North Carolina laws that
in 1888 he was appointed surveyor
for the lands apportioned to the
Revolutionary soldiers of the State.
Jesse Benton, father Of Thomas
H. and grandfather Of Jesse Ben
ton Fremont, was clerk Of the court
from time of Rowan's division 1771
to August, 1775, when he was sue
ceeded by Williams.
Among the lawyers then practic-
ing at Surry's bar were Alexander,
Martin and Waightstill Avery, the
latter one Of the leading lawyers in
the State, her first Attorney-Gen-
eral and one Of the purest patriots.
That fees were not always fat one
would judge on seeing that Avery
received eight shilllngs as counsel
in the settlement of Jacob Dietz'
estate. Here, also, practiced John
Dunn, Of Salisbury, attorney for
the crown and notary public. At
May court, 1775, "License is grant

the court" In July following Dunn,

PART II.
The historian, who, too often gives
the biography of a few men, or the
details of war and politics while the
real life of the people remains un-
noticed, might find in these books
occasional records that put him in
touch with the men of '76. In
stance: An inventory Of the estate
of William Logan, 1776, shows the
relative price of certain things.
Barley 3 S, Cd, corn 10 S, per bar
rel, a gray mare f6, gourd of
salt 6 S. This we notice was in one
Of the most thickly settled parts of
what is now. Stokes county.
From these inventories we con-
clude that property was pretty
evenly distributed. 1t is rare for
them to show that the deceased did
not leave a horse, cow and improve
ment of land, while many had
owned negroes, three or four houses,
cattle, hogs and sheep in great
number. As listed, the growing
crops were usually corn, wheat,
barley, fax, cotton. Once is to-
bacco mentioned, that in the will of
a Carolinian who had raised eleven
thousand pounds on tract Of land
in Kentucky county, Virginia.
Soon atterward, however, this part
of the State must have gone into
the raising of the weed, since in
1856 tobacco inspector was ap-
pointed and located in Richmond.
These men and women were not
reading people. Books were not
easy to get at, newspapers were an
almost Lnreachable luxury. AT the
sale of one Martin there were ''J

One may find curiosites amor

From road orders made by the
Snrry court one learns few things
worth the knowing. Wheeler tells us
that at the breaking out of the
Revolution the only church iu the
county was the Mulberry Field
Meeting House where the town of
Wilkesboro now stands. A glaring
error this. Exclusive of the Mo
ravian churches there are men
toned, in these records. Baptist
meeting house in the Fishers River
region, Snow Greek church near the
center of the present county of
Stokes, Murphy's Meeting House
in the Deep Greek country, besides
which there was a Baptist Church
at Abbott's Greek eleven miles
