of "Wingfield," Chowan Co NC
This is my working hypothesis - the way I see it as of
this moment!!
"the site was settled. . . by Richard Brownrigg, a native
of Ireland, who built there one of the few brick dwellings in the region and
established on the shore the first fishery in the state. The Brownrigg home
burned in 1772 and was replaced in 1790 by Richard's son Thomas who directed the
construction of a beautiful home of wood and brick with a square center and long
wings on either side. The white-columned portico fronted on the river above the
high bluff which was terraced on four levels down to the water's edge. From the
rear a road lined by a double-row of Lombardy poplars, shipped from Italy,
extended for three quarters of a mile out to the county road." - Tom Parramore
in "Roanoke-Chowan Story"
"Wingfield was the magnificent seat of the Brownwrigg family on the
Chowan County side of the river. At the
time of the Civil War it belonged to the wife of Dr.Richard Dillard. . . Early in the war, they
[the family] refugeed to
Richmond. The plantation was seized by the Buffaloes, a pack of
Confederate deserters and renegades, led by one Jack Farless. They
fortified the property and allied themselves with the Union forces while
terrorizing the neighborhood. The Confederates eventually crushed this
outpost destroying the house in the process. Roy Johnson published an
extensive article [by Tom Parramore] on the Buffaloes at Wingfield in "The Roanoke-Chowan
Story" in the Sixties. . . . There is
an article on one of the early Brownriggs in John W. Moore's series "Early
Baptist Laymen of North Carolina". e-mail from James Moore
The next passages from "Cradle of the Colony: The History of Chowan
County and Edenton, North Carolina"
by Thomas C. Parramore. Published 1967.
"Richard Brownrigg came from County Wicklow, Ireland around 1755 and, after
a brief residence at Halifax,
purchased a rich Chowan tract at the mouth of Indian Town creek. In
partnership with a brother in the West
Indies he turned Wingfield into a flourishing shipping-point. By 1762 he
had built a handsome brick
manor house there, set off by acres of shrubbery and catalpa trees and a
terraced bluff overlooking the
Chowan river.
The Wingfield establishment also included a large wharf, storehouses, a sawmill,
and the fabled water-mill, so much invested, at least to the imagination of the
late Dr. Dillard, with mystery and romance. Brownrigg opened there the
first commercial fishery in the province, pioneering in what would one day be a
major Albemarle industry. His brother George anticipated an even greater
industry when he found a way to extract oil from the peanut, an achievement
hailed at the conclaves of the world's most illustrious scientific body, the
English Royal
Society. A French visitor to Wingfield in the spring of 1765 found the
seinemen bringing in up to a hundred
barrels of shad and herring in an hour. At Edenton, the same observer
counted a dozen sea-going vessels
despite the fact that Petersburg and Charleston were attracting much of
Albemarle potential business with
higher prices." pp. 23-24
Richard Brownrigg (1735-1771) was born in Wicklow County, Ireland, and
emigrated to America some time before 1760. He settled in Bertie County, N.C.,
and married Sarah Campbell, daughter of Captain John Campbell.

which cluster all the fond and proud associations of my family, is as much
altered from the paradise it once was as a skeleton is different from the full
and rounded form of youth and beauty. I rode down to the rear of the garden and
took a long and wistful view of the most beautiful river I have ever seen; its
glittering water look just as they did forty years ago. . .The waves beating
their solemn cadence on the lonely shore and the sighing of the wind through the
cedars made symphony with my troubled heart . . . I tried to conjure up the long
ago, when gay and festive the merrie throng gathered on the lawn, or made the
house echo with song and dance and music's voluptious swell. . . . In
spite of me I was depressed beyond measure, and there the scarred and ruined
house stared me in the face like an ugly demon. I bade silent farewell to the
place and rode away."

of Lazy Hill, Coleraine, NC
& Orange Co NC
This is my working hypothesis - the way I see it as of
this moment!!
Inherited Lazy Hill from his grandfather. "his father failed after a bad
fishing season & buying too much fishing outfit & had to sell all land to pay
his debts. He then moved up in Western part of NC where he owned a summer home -
I think in Orange Co & died there. When father was a young boy he was sent to
Chapel Hill to the University of North Carolina. But before he graduated --his
father believed he had discovered a salt mine on his property & bought outfit to
work mine, but it was a failure & he lost everything.
An epidemic of fever broke out all along the river settlements. Many of the
people died, others discouraged, moved away or farther inland.
John Campbell
moved to Halifax County near Weldon.

This is my working hypothesis - the way I see it as of
this moment!!
John and his brother William inherited Lazy Hill. He was born
at Lazy Hill. Attended Chapel Hill when very young. When he heard of his
father's failure with the mine, he left College & went to Hillsboro, NC &
apprenticed himself to a printer & then wrote his father what he had done. He
served his time to the printed & went into business for himself. [his father
must have died about this time]. I never heard for father took over his debts &
went into bankruptcy to give himself time to pay debts -- which he did in full.
He published a paper in Halifax, NC called Halifax Minerva. Bro. Andrew's
wife should have a large book of the papers. Bro Andrew or sister Emily had them
bound. I think -- not sure & I suppose while father was in Halifax he met
& married his first wife Emily Pope. He had seven children by her, only three
lived to be grown -- sisters Emily & Eva lived to be old -- before his first
wife died he moved to Windsor NC & published a paper [never heard the name].
While in Windsor, Col. Andrew Joyner, who was President of the Roanoke
Navigation Co. which ran towe boats on the Canal from Weldon to Gaston then on
River to Danville VA [I think this is correct any how the Canal part is for my
boys can remember the canal with the towe path on both sides.] The Col. wrote
father he had to go to New York for two weeks on business & wouldn't father come
to Weldon & manage the business while he was gone, which my father did & never
left Weldon again to live for while he was there the Wilmington & Weldon Rail
Road finished their tract to Weldon & father was made agent for the Road. The
first Rail Road to ever enter Weldon. The Road is now called Atlantic Coast
Line. When the Raleigh & Gaston road [now Seaboard Air Line? was built to
Weldon he was made agent for that too & When the Petersburg & Weldon [now part
of Atlantic Coast Line] was built to Weldon he was made agent for that. He was
agent for all three until business grew so heavy he helped find agents for
R&G&P&W & stayed with the Wilmington & W -- until his death which was in 1865 &
his name was honored among all Rail Road men & all that knew him.
He was a widower for 13 years when he married my mother who died one week
before he did, baring five children the oldest only 12 years old. The baby died
one year after they died.
Sister Emily the oldest half sister did the best she could but for a long
time we four small children were scattered about living & boarding anywhere.
Most of the time with the man who was left administrator of father's
estate. No use to mention he got it all, we never did, only the home -- but no
money. signed by Elizabeth Campbell Moore -- daughter of John & Caroline

"As
for who raised my grandfather when his parents died in 1866 (he was 7 years
old), my Aunt Rebecca (Caroline Rebecca) told me that two of his older half
sisters from his father’s first marriage were spinsters who ran a school for
girls in Weldon, and they raised him and educated him – and I presume the
other siblings of the second marriage. Martha
and Mary were born in 1833 and 1835, respectively, so they would have been 33
and 31 at the time of their father’s death.
" ~ e-mail from Carolyn Clark Campbell
"Mary Elizabeth Fairweather told me that Aunt Lizzie's two spinster sisters
who raised her had been roommates with Ann Ward at Chowan and the Campbell
ladies and Miss Ann arranged the marriage with Uncle Phil." e-mail James
Moore
