Literacy of James

According to census records, James Southerland could read and write. His wife Mary could not do either. Son Eli could also read and write. Eli and Lafayette attended school in Duplin County.
Need to re-search newspaper records from Island Creek area.

Rev. James David Cavenaugh

James Southerland and Mary English married on July 28, 1872 in Island Creek Township by J. D. Cavenaugh, MG. MG stands for "Minister of the Gospel".

Rev. James David Cavenaugh (son of Bryant Cavenaugh and Lucinda "Cindy" Watkins)
born 9/3/1837 Duplin Co
died 2/26/1904 Duplin Co/Pender Co

married 2/21/1861 Margaret Teachey (2/14/1836-5/9/1868)

Margaret and Martha were sisters. Third sister Mariah married Henry Francis Savage.

1870 Census: Island Creek, Teachey's Post Office
Occupation: Minister (Baptist)

Buried in Mount Holly Baptist Church Cemetery. Mt Holly was established in 1814.
Same cemetery as Timothy Bowen (Mariah Bowen Southerland's brother). Another brother, John Wright Bowen, was a charter member of Burgaw Baptist in 1884. Mt Holly Baptist assisted in that organization.

James David Cavenaugh served in the Civil War as a Private in the 30th Reg. Co. E, with our James Southerland. Was captured at Kelly's Ford on Nov. 7, 1863 and, along with James, confined at Point Look Prisoner of War Camp in Maryland.

Was ordained at Island Creek Baptist Church on 6/18/1865. Island Creek Baptist Church is now listed as being in Rose Hill. It was established sometime around 1802.

The North Carolina Baptist Historical Collection microfilmed the records of Island Creek Baptist Church spanning the years 1802-1984. The Z. Smith Reynolds Library at Wake Forest University has those records in its Special Collection, on 2 reels of microfilm.

Reel 1, Item 1: Church Minute Book, Vol. 1, 1802-1925:
Minutes of quarterly and monthly church meetings from Nov. 26, 1802 to Dec. [6], 1925, including a church covenant; male, female, and Black membership rolls; rules of decorum; and statistics, 1887-1914 (434-435).
The church corresponded with and sent delegates to ... Mount Holly, Muddy Creek [P]... [Index sheets for the above churches have been placed in their NCCF file.]
Subjects include the appointment of delegates to the association and union meetings, 1915-; financial matters; the Centennial service, June 5, 1903 (244-245); revivals; the licensing (Dec. 3, 1859) and agreement to ordain James D. Cavenaugh (June 18, 1865); the selection of their first pastor, Jacob Williams (1815) and his subsequent death (1824); Black membership and the formation of the Kenansville Black Baptist Church in 1867; and special collections for missions.
In June 1815, the church records were transcribed into a blank book. In 1869, Stephen A. Cavenaugh copied the minutes of the old book into this volume. The "old" minutes were still in existence in 1903 according to J. T. Alderman.
This ledger-size volume contains ink entries on pages numbered 1-435. Pages 279-284 are missing. Pages 319-433 are blank and were not filmed. Minutes are missing 1808-1809 with only one entry for 1810; 1848-March 1853.

Arthur Reid Loomis Farm

from Marilyn-

I get the Canton/Troy paper; they do reprints of items from papers in the past as well as current local news. Today there were items from a 1952 Troy Gazette-Register.

Two Trojans who have farms that are over 100 years old were given recognition from the Bradford County Historical Society. The A Reid Loomis farm, RD 3, has been in the family for 115 years and that of Mrs. Sophia Pomeroy Case has been in that family for 108 years.

I remember Mom talking about moving to the farm from "the hill" but never thought about how long it had been in the family. I have no idea when they moved but think Mom was fairly young. Do any of you have any information about this? 1952 must be close to when they sold the farm and moved to Farmers Valley since Reid died in 1955.
