| e-mail from James Moore The first part of my trip to North Carolina was taken up with what I call “The Search for Captain Johnston”. George Burgwyn Johnston (1840-1864) was the second cousin of my great-great grandfather Major John Wheeler Moore (1833-1906). While that connection may sound far-fetched, the two cousins were much closer than normal second cousins. Both of their fathers Samuel Iredell Johnston and Godwin Cotten Moore lost their fathers when they were boys and were raised as brothers at Mulberry Grove by their grandfather the Revolutionary War veteran Godwin Cotten. The two families were very close until the Civil War scattered the Johnston family to the four winds. The Rev. Dr. Samuel Iredell Johnston married Margaret Ann Burgwyn from the Hermitage plantation in the Cape Fear River region near Wilmington. An Episcopal clergyman, he served as the rector of St. Paul’s in Edenton for nearly thirty years. George matriculated at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill in 1855. His roommate was his second cousin Henry King Burgwyn, who was killed at Gettysburg and known as the “Boy Colonel of the Confederacy”. Johnston graduated at the head of the class of 1858 and gave the valedictory address at the commencement attended by President James Buchanan. He was appointed Greek tutor at the University. In 1861 he married Nannie Taylor Johnson, daughter of Dr. Charles Earl Johnson of Raleigh and his first wife Ann Taylor Skinner. He enlisted in the Confederate Army serving as lst lieutenant in Co. G, 28th Regiment of North Carolina Troops under Col. James H. Lane. He was soon promoted to captain. During a battle in Virginia, he swam across a river to escape the oncoming Union forces. When he saw that none of his men would follow him, he swam back and was captured with them. Sent to the notorious Johnson’s Island prison camp in the North, he inspired the men with his cheerful example and reading services to them from the Book of Common Prayer. Eventually exchanged, he returned to North Carolina and was appointed as adjutant to now General Lane. Tragically his health had been wrecked by his imprisonment. He was suffering from consumption and died in 1864. His wife survived him by only two years. General Lane recalled that she was heartbroken by the loss of the husband she had adored. |
So much for the basic facts. In the late summer I received an appeal from the Edenton Woman’s Club. They were soliciting contributions in order to publish “Between the River and the Sound: The Architectural Heritage of Chowan County” written by the late Thomas Butchko and Nancy Van Dolsen. In exchange for a donation of $100, one could receive a book and could memorialize three persons who had lived in Chowan County. So I wrote the check and asked that the names of Samuel Iredell Johnston, Margaret Burgwyn Johnston and George Burgwyn Johnston be put on the list.
Then I started thinking about Captain Johnston. Where was he buried? During the War, his parents were refugees in Chapel Hill where his brother-in-law the Rev. Francis Hilliard was the rector of the Chapel of the Cross. After his death, his widow was given permission to gather firewood from the university campus along with the faculty and their families. So it stood to reason he had come back to Chapel Hill to die and was probably buried in an unmarked grave in the old Town Cemetery next to the campus. Surely a quick check of the burial register of the Chapel of the Cross would answer my question. And with the 150th anniversary of the Civil War coming up next year, wouldn’t it be appropriate to see that this forgotten soldier was given his due with a proper marker and ceremony of remembrance? I emailed the Rev. Stephen Elkins-Williams, the rector, just before the Labor Day holiday. He replied he would be happy to help me. However, he was on his way out the door and would get back to me upon his return.
Then I found that there was a yearbook with pictures of all the members of the Class of 1859, including George, in the London family papers in the Southern Historical Collection of Wilson Library at UNC. I took down the complete citation complete with call number and emailed it to my Aunt Sally of family website fame. Friday afternoon September 24th found me in the last hour of the workday as I tied up loose ends before I left for two weeks in North Carolina. I wanted to print the citation on that yearbook to take with me. I couldn’t find it! In desperation, I typed “George Burgwyn Johnston” and searched all of my email. And then the miraculous happened. Up popped an email sent to Sally in 2004 by one Helen Harper in Canada. After the Civil War, George’s brother Gabriel had gone to Canada and become a Church of England clergyman. Helen was Gabriel’s great-granddaughter and said she had a portrait of George Burgwyn Johnston painted by the noted nineteenth-century painter William Garl Brown. Would Sally like to see a photo of the portrait? I had no recollection of ever seeing this email before, and it was six years old. Hoping against hope, I wrote Helen Harper and hit “send”. That night I had a response! Over the next few days, emails flew through cyberspace between Ontario and the states of Tennessee and North Carolina.
I started out for North Carolina on the afternoon of Sunday, September 26 after lunch. At Knoxville, I encountered rain that would follow me for most of the week. I spent the night in Asheville. I arrived at the home of old UNC classmate David Hearn at Apex just outside Raleigh at noon on Monday. After a grand lunch of quiche and fruit salad, we drove into Chapel Hill to begin the Search for Captain Johnston in earnest. Our first stop was the Southern Historical Collection. I had recently come across three letters that belonged with the Sallie Moore Calvert Papers I had donated to the collection in 1979. As soon as we arrived, I presented the three additional letters and caused a flurry of excitement. This was essential to getting the red carpet treatment we received afterwards. David and I both wrote out our life history, donned white gloves and sat down under the surveillance camera. The librarian brought out the 1859 yearbook. The pictures must have been photographic proofs. Some were in perfect condition. Others had nearly faded away. George’s picture was nearly gone. A pale, ghostly image stared back at us from a century and a half ago. Still we good see that he had been a good-looking young man. I made arrangements at the desk for the library’s photo lab to reproduce the pictures of George Burgwyn Johnston and George Badger Barnes, one of Carl Witt’s relatives. When I told the librarian I was looking for George’s burial spot, he went scurrying around looking in all kinds of reference books. What he did find was the sketch I had written on the Rev. Samuel Iredell Johnston for “The Dictionary of North Carolina Biography” back in the seventies. I had cited a history of the Burgwyn-Jones family that I had completely forgotten had ever existed. He gave us the call number for this book, and we went downstairs to the North Carolina Collection to check it out. There was nothing new on George. However, I did find some new information on his sisters and their children.
It was now 4:30 and we hustled through the misty gloom to get to the parish office at the Chapel of the Cross before it closed. When I told the secretary that I wanted to see the burials register, she said “Oh the rector has that in his office”. The Rev. Mr. Elkins-Williams came out to meet us and informed me he was writing an email to me at that very moment! Then he showed us what he’d found. In the communicants list for 1864 was Dr. Johnston and his wife, two of their younger children and George and his wife. But no burials. Someone had written “Died March 7, 1864” next to George’s name and “removed” next to the citation for Mrs. George. What did this mean?
That night after dinner, we reviewed the evidence we’d gathered so far. Then I went online to look at the data one more time. Auburn University Library has a collection of letters written by George to his commanding officer General Lane in the summer of 1863. As I read through them, I noticed that all but one of them was written from Raleigh. A lifelong resident of North Carolina’s capital city, David kept saying “Look in Raleigh! Look in Raleigh!” I recalled that George’s father-in-law Dr. Charles Earl Johnson was a leading member of Christ Episcopal Church located downtown on Capitol Square and he was in charge of all the Confederate hospitals in Raleigh. If George did indeed have serious health problems, it would make far more sense for him to have been in Raleigh receiving medical care than languishing in Chapel Hill, which was an isolated village back then.
We started with historic Oakwood Cemetery. However, it wasn’t started until 1869. While Nannie’s father Dr. Charles Earl Johnson and other family members were interred there, it was too new to be the burial spot for Nannie and George. Then I discovered something I had never heard of before – the Old City Cemetery chartered in 1798. We couldn’t get the list of individual burials to work, but this looked promising.
Tuesday morning, the rain finally stopped and the sun came out to give us glorious weather. We had a date to have brunch with my friend Molly Urquhart at Courtney’s, a restaurant in North Raleigh. A devoted historical and genealogical enthusiast, Molly is like me in that she finds dead relatives far more interesting and easier to deal with than living ones. As soon as I told her of our project, she exclaimed “My friend Brennie Holloman is the head of preservation for Old City Cemetery”. We got Brennie on David’s cell phone. She said the names sounded familiar. I told her we were headed down to Christ Church as soon as we finished lunch. I was convinced that a look at their parish register would solve this mystery once and for all.
Getting into Christ Church was one step removed from gaining entrance to Fort Knox. When we finally did get to the secretary, she informed us that the parish register was not accessible to the public. It had been deposited in the State Archives, two blocks away, and could be viewed on microfilm. However, she did let us leave the car in their parking lot.
At the Archives, we signed our lives away once more in the reading room. The alleged microfilm was produced and duly loaded into the machine in the AV room. I cranked and cranked up to 1853. Then suddenly I was looking at 1871. What was this? I backed up and checked again. And then I did it a third time. There was NOTHING for a space of eighteen years. I was beside myself! At this point, one of the librarians heard me foaming at the mouth and asked what we were looking for? When I mentioned City Cemetery, he directed us back to the reading room to a survey of said cemetery made in the 1930s. It was a hefty book with no table of contents or index. It was a matter of going through it page by page encountering the graves in the same order as the compiler had done eighty years before us. Finally, I came across a mix of Iredells and Johnsons. I said to David “This has to be the place, but they’re not here!” Then he leaned over and asked “What’s this?’ One little line read “G.B & N.F. Johnson.” I almost whooped with joy and nearly ran across the room to the librarian. “I think we found it!” He said “great!’ and ran around to a computer. Here was a statewide survey of graves with photographs of the tombstones. In less than a minute, we had a print-out of the low, narrow granite stone that read “G.B. & N.T. Johnston. Died 1862-1866”. The 1862 death date for George is an error. But who cares?
It turned out that Old City Cemetery was just six blocks away. Walking up the cobblestone walk under the great trees, we found the Johnson plot fairly quickly. George and Nannie’s stone is at the very front of lot at the foot of the grave of her mother, who died in 1847 at the age of twenty-nine. Two infant children are on one side of her. On the other is Nannie’s sister Mary with her husband Capt. Campbell Iredell, mortally wounded at Gettysburg. In the adjoining plot are the wife and children of Governor James Iredell. One of the men is a brother of Campbell Iredell and died at Spotsylvania. The enormity of the suffering and tragedy of the Civil War hits one in this place. That night I emailed Helen that we had found the graves. She responded with “Bravo!’ and sent two pictures of the portrait. There captured for all time in his Confederate uniform was George Burgwyn Johnston. Our hunt was over. Our captain had been found. James
Question: which is the correct way to spell the name Bergwin or Burgwyn? James answered “That’s a long story. We all know that the Northampton branch changed to the ‘y’ spelling. The Cape Fear crowd retained the original ‘i’. However, George appears to have always used the ‘y’. Everything at UNC has his name that way. Even his mother appears to have adopted that spelling. Helen Harper has a copy of Moore’s history inscribed by her to her son in which she spells her maiden name “Burgwyn”.

cousin until their rupture early in the Civil War. The elder Johnston made a new will in 1863 completely disinheriting his relatives and leaving everything to three friends and business partners. Dr. Max R. Williams of Western Carolina University wrote a two-part series “The Johnston Will Case: A Clash of Titans” for the North Carolina Historical Review in 1990.” (six children all rem to TX)

| e-mail from RE to James James Cathcart Johnson, eldest son of the Rev. Johnston, had a daughter named Anne, who is likely the niece living with Helen Perry in 1880. RE e-mail from James That wouldn’t surprise me. James had been named for his father’s cousin the eccentric but very wealthy old bachelor James Cathcart Johnston, who lived at Hayes plantation at Edenton and owned vast tracts of land along the Roanoke River. Everyone simply assumed that young James was the heir apparent. He called himself “James C. Johnston, Jr.”. He and his wife and children were living with the elder Johnston. When Roanoke Island fell early in the War, the Albemarle Sound was opened to Yankee invasion. The younger Johnston and family refugeed to Virginia leaving the old man who refused to abandon his home. This led to much bad blood. When the old man died in 1865 shortly after the end of the war, it was found that he had disinherited all of his Johnston kin and left everything to his friend Edward Wood and several other business associates. The Johnstons challenged the will on the grounds of mental incompetency. There followed a sensational trial with the best legal minds lined up on both sides. The will stood, and the Woods live at Hayes to this day. James and Kate packed up and went to Texas, where they are supposed to have had a very hard time of it. |

dau of Dr. Charles Earl Johnson 1812 – 1876 & 1st wife Emily Ann Skinner 1818 – 1847
from a piece written by Gen. H Lane – Charlotte Observer 1895
“Company G, which was cut off from the regiment at Kinney’s, can never forget how their brave, but frail and delicate young captain George B Johnston, afterward the accomplished adjutant-general of the brigade, swam the river to escape the enemy, and then swam back rather than appear to have deserted his men; how he marched as a prisoner of war from Kinney’s farm to West Point in his wet clothes; how he was confined on Johnson’s Island; how he read the Episcopal service regularly to his fellow-prisoners there; how he endeared himself to all in his captivity; how he was joyfully welcomed back to camp; and how, a physical wreck, he was soon forced to return home to die. A nobler, braver, purer Christian hero never lived.”
Again from Battle’s History of UNC:
George Burgwyn Johnston Class of 1859. From Edenton. Matriculated 1855.
Held rank of captain in the war. Gave the valedictory address at the 1859 commencement when President Buchannan was in attendance. In 1861 he was named tutor of Greek. In 1862 it was noted he was a captain and prisoner of war. He returned from a long imprisonment in Ohio with a ruined constitution. In 1864 the faculty were allowed to cut firewood from the University forests. “…and the same liberty was granted to the widow of Tutor George B. Johnston, who had died in service”.

feed back 12/05/05 from old guest book Lee Morris [email protected] : S.I. Parker was my uncle by marriage. He married my great aunt Cetie. I attended his funeral as a child in 1975. In attendance were many NC notables, including Senator Sam Ervin. I remember Uncle Sy, as we called him, as a playful, jolly old man. Only later did I find out about his great heroism in WW1, and his illustrious military career.

Peter was the son of another Peter Parker d 1860 and Jemina Hasty 1769 Hertford Co NC – bef 1860
Peter was a farmer in Union County his entire lifetime. He had 12 children by three wives.
is supposed to be buried in the same small Hasty tract burial site as his father and perhaps one or more of his wives there also.
His will written in 1878 and probated August 1881 is on file in Union County which was partitioned out of Anson County with Monroe as the county seat in 1842. His will did not list all of his children but named his third wife Nancy and left some cash to his daughter Susannah M King to “make equal with the other heirs who have been given sums earlier” He also bequeathed some land to his son Peter A Parker and named his brother Sephen H Parker as executor.
