From
Judge Jno. Williams to Gov. Martin
[From
Executive Letter Book.]
Hillsborough,
27th June 1782
Dear
Sir:
We,
last night, brought to a conclusion, after a very troublesome term, the Court
of Sessions of the Peace, Oyer and Terminer, and the General Gaol Delivery held
here the 17th inst., for the District of Hillsborough, and have pretty well
delivered the jail by trying some and binding over to the Supreme Court the
most exceptional characters and by enlisting into the Continental service,
pursuant to your proclamation of the 25th ult, most of those less obnoxious.
During
this term seven have been capitally convicted, to-wit: Samuel Poe, for
Burglary; Thomas Ricketts, Merideith Edwards, Thomas Eastridge and Thomas Dark,
for High Treason; William Duke and Thomas Hunt, for Hose Stealing.
And
as I suppose some supplications may be made for mercy, I have thought proper to
represent to your Excellency the true point of view, in which the several
persons condemned, stood before the Court, the heinousness of their crimes and
their moral characters in life, so that if any should be spared, you may be
enabled to judge who are the less necessary victims of the policy of Law.
Thomas
Dark, a Captain of Fanning's, and
one of his right hand men, is the principal person convicted. He has been very
active and enterprising, and near as dangerous a person as Fanning himself, and
from his proved inhumanity and cruelties in cutting, hacking and wounding his
prisoners, had acquired among those of his own party the name of young
Tarleton.
Thomas
Ricketts, though indicted of treason only, it is hard to mention a crime of
which he is not accused, and I have good reason to believe not wrongfully.
Murder, house-burning, robbery, &c., are in the black list of his crimes,
to which is added a general bad character.
Samuel Poe is
one of eight who set out on the plan of robbery, and in one night broke open
six different dwelling houses of men of property, and entered, sword in hand,
and with guns and other arms, and put in fear all in the house, robbed of
several hundred pounds, specie worth, of clothes, furniture, &c. Witness
intended to prove the several charges, but being indicted of one, which being
so clearly proved by credible Witnesses, coupled with his own confession, it
was thought needless to indict him on more.
(a
bit more about the others)
The
court considering the first three proper victims of policy and the great
difficulty there is of keeping them safe in jail, has ordered their execution
on Friday, the first of February, only giving so much time as not to shut the
door on mercy against them.
The
day of execution for the four latter is fixed to Friday, the first day of March
next, and as they have some hope of obtaining a pardon on condition of their
enlisting into the service, I believe there will not be much danger of their
escaping.
At
this Court the Attorney-General did not attend, and the Court got the favor of
Colonel Alfred Moore to officiate as Atto. for the State, and without whose
assistance, which, the Court experiences in a very essential manner, they could
not have carried on the business of the Court, and as he gave up all advantage
of a Court, which he might have made very beneficial, I make no doubt that they
General Assembly that is necessary to point out someway of ascertaining the
depreciation of the small pittance granted
to judges, &c., and some way for the payment of it. The present
collection, I believe, is chiefly in Certificates and that is a currency which
will not pass for expences.
I
have the Honor to be,
Dear
Sir,
Your
Most Obedient,
Humble
Servant,
JNO.

David Fanning http://www.famousamericans.net/davidfanning/ FANNING,
David, freebooter, born in Johnston
County, N. C., about 1754; died in Digby, N. S., in 1825. He seems to
have been a carpenter, but claimed that he was a "planter in the back
part of the southern provinces." He trafficked with the Indians, and was
connected with the notorious Colonel McGirth on the Pedee. When Wilmington
was occupied by the British in 1781, Fanning, having been robbed by a party
of men who called themselves Whigs, attached himself to the Tories, collected
a small band of desperadoes, and scoured the country, committing frightful
atrocities, but doing such good service to the British that Major Craig gave
him a commission as lieutenant colonel in the militia. By the rapidity and
secrecy of his movements he succeeded in capturing many prominent Whigs, and
hanged those who had incurred his personal resentment. At one time he dashed
