Too much cannot be said of the many distinguished men Old Brunswick gave to our country at large men who were in the councils of State and Nation: Maj. It became the chief seaport of North Carolina, and for a while its Capital. Many obstacles prevented Old Brunswick from assuming great proportions, hence the hopes of the founder were never realized, yet it became a place of stirring events which spread throughout the Nation. In that year Maurice Moore, a grandson of Sir John Yeamans, received from the Lords Proprietors a grant of fifteen hundred acres of land, upon which a town site was laid off upon three hundred and fifty acres and was named Brunswick, in honor of the reigning family of Great Britain. The second attempt to establish a settlement was in 1725, a site being selected fifteen miles below the present city of Wilmington, upon the west bank of the Cape Fear River. The first settlement in New Hanover County was called Charlestown, but it existed only about six years-then was abandoned-the colonists returning to Charleston, South Carolina, from whence they came. We omit the early settlement of our section, and begin with the year 1723, which was in reality the starting of a Parliamentary Government. What follows constitutes largely the beginning of events that led up to the Revolutionary war or conflict against the British empire and its tyrannical policies, as chronicled by various historians. THE Lower Cape Fear region of North Carolina is justly recognized by historians and designated as the most romantic section of our state. WILLIAM LORD DEROSSET VERBA MEMORIA DIGNAĪ wise philosophical historian has justly said that “A people which takes no pride in the noble achievements of a remote Ancestry, will never achieve anything worthy to be remembered by remote decendants.” COLONIAL HISTORY OF To all-we constitute a community of religious and educational environments. To the Leaders who rescued our honor and country, To those who suffered the trials and devastations of our beloved Southland, To those heroic Patriots, defenders of Liberty, No sting is left in the heart of Southern Soldiers for the brave men who fought them, as they have proven their loyalty to their United Country in their response to the call of their chief (the President) in defense of his domain, when the Blue and the Grey met upon the fields of Foreign soils, under One Flag-“The Stars and Stripes” “Indissoluble, United We Stand.”“The story born of Truth is Eternal,His words become the symbol of Truth.” Their righteous cause, their deeds and valor, shall ever go down to posterity, without varying, their righteousness shall ever be-“A Just Cause.” “The triumphs of MIGHT are transient-they pass and are forgotten-the Sufferings of RIGHT are graven deepest in the chronicles of Nations.” The Southern people, weary of discord, exercised every means to remain in the Union of States North Carolina was the last of the States to secede, using every honorable recourse to remain, finally accepting war and rightly joined her Sister States in forming The Confederate States of America.

The facts are indisputable as true records of events! As the first who defied British Power, more than ten years before the Declaration of Independence, were the people of the Lower Cape Fear. With “Blood and Death” was the answer:-Heroism and determination upon the part of the Colonist crowned their glorious efforts, enhanced by the signal defeat of the British at the Battle of Moore's Creek Bridge. The twilight of Liberty in America first showed its brilliancy when the Colonists of the Lower Cape Fear denounced the tyrannical Acts of the British Crown upon her subjects, imposing an unjust tax, without representation, known as The Stamp Act of 1765.
