Battle's history of the university [at Chapel Hill] in a section dealing with commencement festivities in the 1840s: "A student band, generally two violins and a flute or two, furnished the music, which was uncommonly sweet and enlivening.  Richard or "Dick", Weaver was a noted flute player."  He entered UNC in 1843 and grad 1846 with 3rd honors.

in Chapter LXVIII, page 117 of Mr. Powell's reprint: "As the year (1860) drew to its close there was a
festive scene at the ancient homestead known as Mulberry Grove.  Amid many relatives and friends Rev.

fair and gentle kinswoman, Esther C. Moore to Dr. Richard Weaver then of Northampton.  THE BRIDEGROOM HAS SINCE BECOME A CITIZEN OF HERTFORD COUNTY and has won as much reputation as a skillful physician, as he has the esteem and confidence of the people as a man."

Hertford Light Infantry--in the spring of 1861 in Winton several score Hertford County men mustered into the county's first volunteer company for the Confederate Army. They were well equipped with uniforms and guns purchased by a county bond issue. Their officers were local gentry. Thomas H Sharp was elected captain, William B Wise, Jesse Perry, & Julian Moore were elected lieutenants. R T Barnes was first sergeant of the unit and under him more than 100 Hertford men. There was even a musician, one W C Weed. They marched to Raleigh where they became Company C of the 17th North Carolina Regiment. They were assigned to the incomplete Confederate defenses on North Carolina's Outer Banks. In August, a giant federal naval task force landed a powerful striking unit which quickly overran the southern defenders of Fort Hatteras on the Banks. In the sand-walled fort were the men of Company C. After a brief exchange with the huge landing party, the tiny garrison of untrained Confederates laid down their arms. They remained in Union prisoner-of-war stockades until in the spring of 1862 the men were paroled.
Artillery for Third NC Battalion--in the spring of 1862, Maj. John W Moore organized an artillery battalion. Capt Julian G Moore was commander of the Hertford company. The battalion went to Virginia without guns and served with Lee's army for several months between battles before it was equipped. Then in the winter of 1862 the unit went back to NC for service. Still without guns for all but two of its batteries it remained near Wilmington. In March 1863 it finally was equipped and spent the entire year in positions near Wilmington. 

e-mail from James: Uncle Jule was highly popular for telling jokes and funny stories. 
 This one was passed on to me by his great nephew Raynor Moore,my grandfather:

"One time Uncle Jule was on a speaking tour campaigning for a candidate. 
 He was outdoors debating another man.  
That fellow told some lie about him, so Uncle Jule countered with this: 

During the War, they were in the trenches around Petersburg.  
This fellow came around crying and telling everybody goodbye. 
Jule found out that he was just going to do picket duty a few miles up the road to make sure the Yankees didn't sneak up on them. 
 Jule asked "Are you a baby?"
 The fellow replied "I wish to God I was a baby, and a gal baby at that!"  
The story made the opponent powerful mad but tickled Uncle Jule."

And this story came from his great niece Margaret Stevens Colvin:

"Uncle Jule was making a speech and became quite long-winded. 
 Finally a man jumped up and said "Sit down.  Sit down.  You're a damned good-looking man,
but for God's sake sit down!"

And one more story told by Uncle Jule to Raynor Moore:

"During the war, they were in Maryland and old Jim Clark was on sentry duty.  There was a cow that kept trying to eat with the horses.  Nothing he did would stop her.  He went and told Major Moore, who told him just to stick his bayonet in her.  Jim Clark went up there and stuck the bayonet in her so deep that it killed the cow.  Since the people there were on our side, the cow had to be paid for.  And the money spent on a cow in Maryland would buy ten of them down in North Carolina.  Then Jim Clark went to stomping and cussing and raising a ruckus.  He got so bad that Major Moore cut a hole in the top of a barrel and made him wear a barrel shirt.  When he finally calmed down, Uncle Jule explained that they would all help pay for the cow, and that was the end of that."
