Descendants of James Emerson “The Regulator” Generation No. 1 1. James 1 Emerson was born Abt. 1735 in Virginia, and died Abt. 1786 in Chatham County, SC. He married Margaret Peggy Moore. She was born Abt. 1741 in Medon, Tennessee, and died Abt. 1813 in Chatham County, SC. Notes for James the Regulator Emerson: All information is from "Our Father's Family", by K. C. Emerson and Marvin C. Emerson: The name Emerson originated in the Danelaw Region of England. This was a region conquered and inhabited by Nordic peoples in the northeastern portion of England in the 9th century. The original Nordic name was Americ, which was derived from Amalarich, the "exalted ruler". Emery was derived from Americ, Emerson was derived from Emeryson. Family tradition states that the Emersons came from Denmark to a place called Foxton, Sussex County, in England before some of the family immigrated to America. Raffe Emerson, of Foxton, Durham County, was granted a Coat of Arms in 1535 and "the distinction to bear a surname, to be called Emerson", by Henry the VIII. It is not known if he was the first to use the family name Emerson. There was a Johannes Emeryson in Durham in the early 1300's, Willelmus Emerisson in Bondgate in 1351, and Robert Emeryson (or Emerisson) in South Bedburn in 1380. More research would probably uncover other similar names and other deviations. It is believed James Emerson, The Regulator, moved to North Carolina from the Caroline- Essex - Middlesex Counties area of Virginia, primarily because the names given his children fit the pattern of the Emerson family of that area. Unfortunately, few records survived the destruction of that area during the Civil War. Many of the records of Maryland are missing. It is possible that our James Emerson was born in that state because the Emerson and Tilman (Tilghman) families were closely associated in North Carolina and Tennessee. The Tilghman (later called Tilman) family did live in Maryland before moving to North Carolina. Family tradition reveals that the Emersons came from Denmark to a place called Foxton, Sussex County, in England before some of the family immigrated to America. James Emerson, The Regulator In the 1750-60's, the Tidewater aristocracy of North Carolina owned numerous slaves who worked on their plantations, favored the Anglican Church, and were mostly English aristocracy descendants. During this time the Piedmont (hill area) was settled by people moving there from eastern North Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland and New Jersey. They were Scotch, Irish, German, Welsh, and English emigrants, or descendants of earlier arrivals of these ** PAGE BREAK ** Descendants of James Emerson “The Regulator” nationalities. Many were members of Presbyterian, Baptist, Quaker, Moravian, or Dunkard religions and established small farms, usually without slaves; only a few were aristocrats. The Lower House of the Provincial Assembly was composed of representatives elected by each county. As immigrants poured into the Piedmont, the Assembly was slow to establish new counties, and often when they were established, small new counties were established also in the Tidewater. This resulted in the back country settlers being under represented in the Assembly. By 1776, Orange County, in the Piedmont, contained a larger white population than the total in five Tidewater counties. The five Tidewater counties had a total of 25 votes in the Assembly and Orange County had two. At the same time, the Piedmont counties had a number of county officials, appointed by the Governor, who were abusive and corrupt. Since county officials were not paid salaries, they often kept part or all of the taxes, and charged high fees for deeds and other legal documents for which the farmers had to pay cash. In the Tidewater, citizens did not have to pay cash since they could give a mortgage on their goods in warehouses or property. The sufferings of the settlers in the Piedmont arose from poverty which was beyond the control of the Governor; however, the uneven administration of laws and corruptly appointed officials made their situation worse. By 1765, the small farmers of the Piedmont began denouncing high taxes, rents, fees and the malpractice of county officials. Mass meetings were common by 1768, and in 1770, one body, meeting in protest, numbered about 3,700. As the movement gained momentum, more demands were made, and these were published as Regulators' Advertisements, hence the name Regulators. The Regulators became impatient, and following several acts of violence against county officials, the Governor and the Assembly reacted by initiating reforms which practically met the demands of the Regulators. However, flushed with victory and increased strength, they continued to oppose the Provincial Government until the movement was quelled by military action. Many historians have said that this movement really was the beginning of the Revolutionary War. This introduction is provided as background to facilitate understanding the detailed comments which follow concerning James Emerson. On April 30, 1768, the Regulators published Advertisement No. 8. On May 21, 1768, they published Advertisement No. 10. Sometime between these two dates Advertisement No. 9 was published. One source states it was published on April 30, 1768 immediately after Advertisement No. 8 was published; however, the official document bears no date. ** PAGE BREAK ** Descendants of James Emerson “The Regulator” James Emerson was one of the 109 signers of Regulator's Advertisement No. 9. Later this Advertisement was published again with 50 different signers. This is the first record found to date of James Emerson in North Carolina. At the time Regulators' Advertisement No. 9 was signed, James Emerson lived in Orange County. In 1770 Orange County was divided into several counties, one of which was Chatham County. It is assumed that James Emerson did not move during this period since he lived in Chatham County after the division of Orange County. The Regulators became more outspoken in their demands and more settlers joined the groups until Governor Tyron decided military action was necessary to restore order in the area and insure control by the Provincial Government. The Governor took to the field with several units of the Militia, and on May 16, 1771, defeated the Regulators in the Battle of Alamance. During the battle several Regulators were captured. The next day, May 17, 1771, James Few, one of the leaders of the Regulators, was hung on the battlefield. The Governor then proceeded to march his small army through other western settlements as a show of strength and to restore his control of the area. His route was from Alamance to Reedy Creek, to Salisbury, to Bethebara, Wachovia and Salem (now Winston- Salem), and then back to Hillsborough. During this expedition the 12 Regulators captured at Almance were marched in irons with the army and displayed in the settlements visited. After the Governor's return to Hillsborough, the 12 captured Regulators were tried for treason. The trial lasted until June 18, 1771 when all 12 were found guilty. "At Hillsborough a court martial for the trial of twelve prisoners, twelve of whom were condemned to death. Six were reprieved and the other six hung, among whom was Captain Messer." The prisoners were all indicted for high treason, found guilty and condemned to death. On six of them, James Pugh, Benjamin Merrill, Robert Matear, Captain Messer, and two others, the sentence was executed on the 19th of June, 1771; the other six, Forrester Mercer, James Stewart, James Emerson, Herman Cox, William Brown, and James Copeland, were respited until the King's pleasure could be known. (Col. Rec., Vol. 8, p. 635; Vol. 9, PP. 36, 37, 274, 311). On June 19, 1771, six of the Regulators were hung. The event took place on a small hill about 1/4 mile east of the county courthouse. Today the site is marked by a bronze tablet in a small area enclosed by an iron picket fence. Because of public reaction after the hangings, the Governor did not hang the other six; instead he suspended their sentences. Those given suspended sentences were Forrester Mercer, James ** PAGE BREAK ** Descendants of James Emerson “The Regulator” Stewart, James Emmerson, Herman Cox, William Brown, and James Copeland. Shortly after the trial, Governor Tryon was transferred to New York and was replaced as Governor by Josiah Martin. On October 18, 1771 Governor Josiah Martin wrote a letter to his superior urging clemency for the remaining six captured Regulators. On December 14, 1771 Governor Tryon, then Governor of New York, also wrote to his superior and recommended pardons for the six. The Earl of Hillsborough's answer to these letters has not been found, but it must have been favorable because on July 19, 1772 Governor Josiah Martin notified the Orange County Court of Oyer and Terminer that the sentences were to be suspended. James Emmerson was notified officially of his pardon on August 1, 1772 at Hillsborough, North Carolina. During the November 14, 1775 session of the Inferior Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions, it was ordered that "Sarah Creed Orphan of Mary Creed be bound to James Emerson and Peggy his wife to learn the business of housewifery until the lawful age being now fourteen years old." No other record has been found concerning Sarah Creed. During the Revolutionary War, James Emerson served in Captain Joab Brooks' Company of the Chatham County Militia. In October 1779 James Emerson sold a gun to the Militia of North Carolina for 25.5.0 pounds. The Comptroller's account does not specify what kind of gun it was. His son, Henry Emerson, volunteered for service in the winter of 1780-81 and served in Captain William Goldson's Company. After three months of service he was discharged, and in May 1781 he was drafted into Captain Sharp's Company for six months of service. He was discharged after one year of service. Another son, Samuel Emerson, enlisted in Colonel Jethro Summer's Regiment. It is not known where James Emerson lived prior to 1779, but it may have been near the junction of Tick Creek and Rocky River because he was granted 400 acres in that area. His request was entered on April 2, 1779 and grant number 302 was issued on March 31, 1780. James Emerson, The Regulator, died in 1786 sometime prior to November 13, because on that date Margaret Emerson (his wife), Henry Bray, and William Moody posted a $1000 Bond as administrators of James Emerson's estate. He probably died two or three weeks prior to that date. No will had been located and the exact date of his death is unknown. An inventory of his property, prepared by the administrator of his estate, has over the years, been damaged and partly destroyed, but that portion which exists today lists a reasonable amount of property. On December 8, 1809, Henry Emerson, son of James and Margaret Emerson, sold "his part of a certain tract or parcel of land in said County of Chatham containing fifty acres more or less on the waters of Tick Creek that being the whole left me by my father his last will and testament as also my part of the thereas aforesaid ** PAGE BREAK ** Descendants of James Emerson “The Regulator” land now occupied by my mother" to his brother Benjamin Emerson for $100.00. Margaret Emerson, the wife of James Emerson, died in 1812 or 1813. The exact date is unknown. Before her death she prepared a will which is undated. The date it was recorded is also unknown, but the sequence in the Chatham County Will Book is such that it might have been as early as March 1812. It probably was in 1813. The graves of James and Margaret Emerson have not been located, but it is assumed they are two of the many unmarked graves in the old cemetery near Rives Chapel, and on land owned at one time by James Emerson. The graves, with headstones, of five Emersons buried prior to the Civil War are in that cemetery. The graveyard is close to Rieves Chapel near Siler City, North Carolina. Notes for Margaret Peggy Moore: At the death of James, Margaret was pregnant with their child Nancy. ** PAGE BREAK ** Descendants of James Emerson “The Regulator” Children of James Emerson and Margaret Moore are: + 2 i.

Henry2 Emerson (James the Regulator1) was born 1763 in Orange County, NC, and died March 03, 1847 in Ringgold, GA. He married Mary Armstrong Abt. 1795, daughter of Samuel Armstrong and Mary Unknown. She was born 1766 in South Carolina, and died 1851 in Ringgold, GA. Notes for Henry Emerson: K. C. Emerson indicates that Henry emigrated to Spartanburg County, SC. about 1787 where he met his wife. His Revolutionary War pension papers indicate that he lived there 45 years, and then migrated to Ringgold, GA about 1844. On 7-12-1847, Henry's widow, Mary, made application from Walker County, GA, the county in which Ringgold was located, for the balance of Henry's pension to be paid to her from 9-4-1846. In the 1850 Census for Walker County, GA, Mary and two daughters are living with the family of Asberry Morris (her son-in law) whose spouse was Harriett, another daughter of Henry's and Mary Armstrong's. Henry served in Captain William Goldson's Company and Captain Sharp's Company in the Revolutionary War. Submitted by Elaine Emberson Taylor: Henry and Mary Emerson raised their family in Spartanburg County. A revolutionary War pensionwas issued to Henry Emerson on August 27, 1833. in 1843, Henry sold his land to his son Henry M. Emerson, Jr. He and Mary moved to Ringgold, GA in 1846.

Isaac2 Emerson (James the Regulator1) was born 1768 in Chatham County, NC, and died in Johnson County, ILL. He married Unknown Williams. Notes for Isaac Emerson: Notes furnished by Mrs. Golda Hodgson Ivester, said that data on the family chart of Mary Jane Emerson was taken from family Bibles and old letters. These notes said that Isaac Emerson, father of James, "served in the Revolutionary War and was buried with honors of war at Ringold, GA. at the age of 107." Notes also state that this is a traditional family story and that James, Israel's son, had sons named: William, James, Henry, Ben K., Willis, and Eber. They also say that Isaac's youngest daughter was named Harriett and "the old couple, Isaac and his wife, lived with her". The book," Hardin County's People, Miscellaneous Records From the 19th Century", places an Isaac Emerson and a James Emerson in Hardin County in 1820. The 1820 Census for Hardin County, TN lists a James Emerson family with 2 males under 10, 1 male 10-16, one male 26-45, one female under 10 and one female 26-45. This book also tells that in 1820 James Emerson was ordered to "mark the road from Swift Creek to the Natchez Road". James was also appointed Juror in 1820 indicating that he was well settled in Hardin County by 1820. Courthouse records from Savannah, Hardin County, TN show that an Isaac Emerson entered a land purchases in September, 1821, 1823, and 1825. By 1840, Isaac, son of James the Regulator, was dead. ** PAGE BREAK ** Descendants of James Emerson “The Regulator” "The Marshall Historical Quarterly", Vol. IV, No. II says that Isaac Emerson, son of James Emerson Sr. (The Regulator) and Margaret (name unknown) died in Hardin County, Tennessee about 1838. This publication also says that Isaac was born in 1768. The book "Hardin County Tennessee Records 1820-1860" indicates that Isaac was off the tax rolls by 1841, and James by 1849.
