He first saw the possibilities, and set the example of raising great quantities of cotton on the uplands of Wake.[...]Governor Swain says of him that he was dignified and grave, and it also is sure that he must have been charitable, for he is responsible for the building of the first county poor-house in Wake. Example: Trade with the Indians. — There is every likelihood that the brisk trade that flourished between the settlers on the coast and the Indians in the interior, both before and after the Tuscarora War, included trade in and through the woods of Wake. Although the “Trading Path to the Indians” described by William Byrd in 1728 when surveying the Virginia-Carolina dividing line passed to the north and west of Wake, there was trading through Wake’s forests. The celebrated “Green’s Path” from eastern Virginia toward the southward lay along portions of the present boundary line between Wake and Johnston counties; and the “Pee Dee Trail” traversed southern Wake County on its east-west route between Johnston and Chatham counties. 3.

As the war planners on both sides saw the situation in the late 1930s, possession of Wake was vital to the defense of their territory.
