Note. 



Several of the family have been members of the General 

 Assembly, and thongh the name is now extinct, numerous 

 descendants still live in the State. 



In reprinting Brickell's Xatural History of North Caro- 

 lina, the original text is followed as closely as possible. The 

 original editions do not contain an index, but a copy in the 

 possession of the writer has been carefully indexed in such 

 a painstaking, accurate hand, as to appear almost like copper- 

 plate, and that index is added to this reprint.
