uARRTsON's NORTH CAROLINA AZ
CESFRY.


1t adds somewhat to our interest i'm
the recent mari iage Of ez-President
Harrison. that ne was, in some sense,
| of North Carolina descent. His great
great grandfather several times re-
moved, was Sir Richard Eyerard, who
was the, last Of the Governors Of North
Carolina under the rule of the Lords
Proprietors, and resided at Edenton,
n. G. Eyerard was Governor of the
Province from 1926 to 1929, when II
was sold to the Crown, and became Il
Royal Province Sometime after the
end of his term as Governor, EyerafCl
went with his daughter, Susanna, to
Nansemond, Va, where she was mar
ried to a Mr. Meade. A daughter of
this marriage became the wife of Ben
ianin Harrison, of Virginia, one of the
signers of the Declaration of Independ-
ence, and their son, William Henry, or
"Tippecanoe," afterwards President OF
the United States, was grandfather OF
ex-President Benjamin Harrison, of
whom, however, it may be said, "quan
tum mutatus alb illo.'
Of the family of Sir Richard Eyerard,
there is much Of interest in Sir Walter
SCOTS novel of Woodstock; and Car
lyle mentions, in his life of Oliver
Cromwell, that at one time the Parlia-
mentary army was encamped at Sir
Richard Everard's castle, in Ireland
probably of the same family.
1t was Sir Richard Everard who was
indicted by the grand jury Of Chowan
county, for an assault upon DIR. George
Allen, Of Edenton, who was the great
grandfather Of the late Senator Allen
Thurman.
Everard was succeeded as Governor
by George burlington, an appointee
of royalty, who had been previously
Governor under the Lords Proprietors
These two doughty Governors indul-
ged in many remarks concerning one
another which were anything but com
pIimentary.
OF them and their contemporaries.
there are many interesting facts in the
possession Of DR., z. w. Pugh, Of Wind
sor.
